3.19 is a ripoff. I've found them for $1 each online, with the antisnagg ends (not those crappy boots either, the little rubber ramps instead). I've got a huge spool of cable and a ton of ends here, and a $200 crimper. But, I don't want to spend the time making them, and it's even harder because I'm colorblind and mix up the brown and the green all the time. I'll probably just order some from somewhere. ~jay On Feb 5, 2006, at 4:40 PM, Ed Wilts wrote: > On Sun, Feb 05, 2006 at 12:14:26PM -0600, Jay Austad wrote: >> Looking for about 48 6-7 foot ethernet patch cables, prefer new. >> Anyone have a box of them they'd like to sell, or know where I can >> find some locally for a good price? > > General Nanosystems has a 7' patch cable for 3.19 each.
