Bellevue rules...tis where I live ;)

You buy</b> ethernet cables?

Real men terminate their own. ;)

no crimpers. :-( :-(

Those are expensive, admittedly, but surely someone you know has some you could borrow for short bits of time.

nobody i know....

Okay, truthfully the only people I know have crimpers are a few people that work for the resnet program here on campus, and we have a few at work I can borrow when necessary.

I wish they didn't cost $50-100 or I would have a pair myself. It would make so many things much easier.

that's all?? hell, i always thought they were more....

hmm... maybe i should get some.

Like everything, it all depends on how much you want to spend. Some quick examples:

$180 - $120 - $63 - $19 - $16

I'm not sure I would trust the cheap ones, but they should still get the job done for light amounts of work.

Of course, you'll still need to get the RJ45 connectors and some bulk cable, but those are cheap enough to make it worth your while in convenience (all your cables are suddenly *just the right length* as opposed to 3 feet too short) and possibly even cost savings.

thanks for the links!

No problem. They all point to Outpost, a company that has gained my business by consistently covering my ass when I waited until entirely-too-late to order something and I've never been screwed over. In other words, I recommend them. ;)

you look really cute (couldn't thank of another word)
