I just put the transparent end of the connector body under the magnifier, and I see a bunch of (thickish) strands in each IDC slot. I don't think that IDC is in any way reliant on single strand conductors - e.g. take the ribbon cable IDC we've all used for years. > I've not seen any cat5 that wasn't solid.

Not everyone has spare patch cords cluttering up the place, ripe for repurposing. Erik -- ... assume that the jobs are going to China or somewhere else, and certainly there is some manufacturing going to China, but ... there are fewer manufacturing jobs in China as well. They are down by 20 million just since the 1990s. So jobs are leaving both China and the United States in manufacturing and going to robots. - http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/futuretense/5285816 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.
