I have an additional question. I have a 150' cat5 cable hand made by my vendor. It doesn't work. A friend told me that with long runs there's a special wiring method than with short runs, in order to limit capacitance or inductance or some such. Anyone know about that? One thing I can tell you is that the non-working cable has only 4 conductors crimped. For long cables, should all 8 be crimped?
