The Wisdom of the List has been summoned! I'm trying to find a cat 5e or 6 ethernet cable of nominally 30 metres in length (but could be anywhere 20 to 50m) of the kind that is 'all weather' or 'outdoors' type. I have bought several already but these typically are meant for a permanent installation and although well- sheathed and 'heavy duty' they all suffer from a 'lightness' and as soon as you unwind them, they bounce around refusing to give up their 'coily' state.
If you think in terms of a reel of electrical extension cable, when you pull it off the reel it generally straightens out and assumes a mostly 'floppy' state. With the ethernet cables I have, they won't do this and resemble an unwound spring! Can anyone recommend any type of cat 5e or 6 ethernet cable that will not remain 'springy' and instead act as 'floppy' in an unwound state? Any advice gratefully received. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
