This is a great question. Personally, I haven't figured a way to do this but I am sure there must be a way. I generally buy the cables premade which I know isn't perfect but it's not a bad work around. You can buy patches in just about every custom length inexpensively now and have them drop shipped where ever you need them. I'd like to hear more about this as well if someone has done this successfully. -----Original Message----- From: Zameer Mahomed Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 6:25 PM To: Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] network cables, do you make your own? Hi listers, ok, if this is inappropriate, you have all the right to boot me off this list. But I write this because I'm just burning with curiosity, I have no other visually impaired person to ask, and wanted to know if any visually impaired people can do this in someway or another. So, do you make your own ethernet cables? I'm doing N+ and I know we'd have a problem when it comes to putting the colours in the right pairs but what about cutting, crimping etc? Unfortunately I'm studying this thing by myself so no practical assistance here. Hence one of the many reasons for asking. regards, _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
