Yeah crimpers are pretty expensive. You can get up to 35m lengths of
pre-made cable from JayCar. It's a really good place for generic
things cause they usually have very competitive pricing.
Their website is also very usefull

I have given up on cheap stuff, as I have had 3 cheap 8 port switches
die in the last 2 years, two were kingmax and the third an unknown
brand from tiwan, I now use an Intel 8port switch.
If you are after cables in 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10m lengths, then buy pre
made. they will last alot longer than any you crimp yourself (unless
you spend $400 on an AMP crimper and connectors)
I buy most of my stuff here in Perth from Pacific Communications in
East Perth, they are part of the heygamyer <sp?> group, and stock
brands like Dlink. If you do not need a switch urgent, look at Ebay,
as you can sometimes pick up cisco and 3com cheap (well cheaper than
buying them brand new)
If you want leads custom made, drop me line on 0419 923 731, and I can
look at giving you a price, as I am about to order 500m of cat5
stranded for patch leads.
Also who has a good range of Mac software in Perth, on the shelf?
Kind regards, Paul.
No idea, I hardly use my mac :( (and even if I did it would be running
YD Linux ;)
