We probably have well north of 150 such 5 to 10 foot jumpers at the tv station, all crimped up from the 1000' spool by Jim or I, and the only one we had problems with was one sales lady who brought her own laptop & took it home every night. Took her about a week to rip the end off the cable. She also brought us viri that caused a mass whole house re-install party twice. We had instituted a policy that any infected machine would be re-imaged regardless of the personal data on it after that. So we told her to leave the laptop at home & put one of our home made kits with win 8 on her desk. Stopped that problem cold. She then brought another keylogger in on a usb key & Jim (our network guy) and Tim, the GM had a cow.
But she claimed it was hurting her productivity & quit for greener fields a month later. Billing stats said we were wasting that office space on her anyway. Windows people know it all & you can't tell 'em any different. Spit... > Jon War stories Jon. I'll ask Jim if he ever bought any stranded cat5 or cat6 the next time I stop by. I don't think it existed 13 years ago when I was last in the middle of it. Which could explain why I haven't heard of it now. Take care.
