Many years back I bought a long coil of the orange cable with N
connectors on it at a flea market. Only when I got home did I notice
that vampires had been gnawing on it in many places :-(
I should have known better and spotted the holes.
I'm pretty sure I know which box holds my vampire tool and a MAU or two,
but I worked for 3Com starting in 86.

Weird timing, I was digging through the attic and two weeks ago found
a box with AMP stinger repair kits, a couple unopened MAUs,
and at least one said tool or two in the bottom of the box. There use
to be a few N connectors but I still use them so they ended up in the
RF connector box.
I use to have a few spools of the cable but one ham radio swap meet
and they went fast.
One of MAUs is bigger then one of my Linux based single board
computers with a network jack ! And I bet cost more to buy.

"Frozen yellow garden hose". It was a perfect description. I think
it was about 1980. And I still remember being astounded when I saw
that a "vampire tap" could work.
Or maybe more to the point, I wonder how many of us have installed
10base5 cable, and done vampire taps? I think I still have one of
the tools around here somewhere... probably with my G-D wirewrap
gun.
