Subject: RE: UTP Cables from Solid Core


I'd guess it's a pricing thing...   Having sockets at each end makes sense
for flexibility, but its not financially possible sometimes.

I've got a 16 port 1U panel in the garage cabinet, and I'm only using three
of the ports.  If I didn't have it, I might have been tempted to use a
normal wall plate with sockets, or even put the cables straight to plugs.
But then I might have wanted to make one a cross-over, or whatever.

Why do they make plugs for solid core then? Fixed wiring should terminate in
a 
socket.
