Hey nerd friends! 🤓
🚨 In an “emergency” at home, how quickly could you lay your hands on an Ethernet cable?
I cleared out my box-o-cables a while back.
Thankfully the drawers under the TV have spares!
HBU?

@popey I have a tub of various length cables on hand and a spool of Cat 5e cable + connectors + crimper + tester to make more if needed. (Usually to the exact length needed to minimize cable sprawl.)

I got so frustrated trying to get all of the wires properly slotted in the blind RJ45 connectors I was using that I ordered pass through connectors and crimping tool and received them this afternoon. That's still a bit fiddly but much easier than the blind connectors. But...

Note to self: PUT THE CABLE HOODS ON BEFORE INSTALLING THE CONNECTORS. 😛
