Cable terminating practice
Looking for suggestions on where to buy inexpensive bulk cat5e/6 cable and a crimper to practice making patch cables. I was looking for the crimping tool that Ronnie uses but I can't remember the brand. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Al
Depending on how much you need... You may just find it cheaper to buy it by the 100ft roll at your local hardware store--we have a Home Depot Store right near us. If you're looking at buying 1000 ft or more then you may want to check places like www.cablesforless.com.
I bought a Klein crimping tool. It's not necessarily that it's the "greatest tool" ever but it does have a lifetime warranty on it anywhere that sells that tool and it has release ratchet so I don't have to guess if I'm put enough pressure on the crimping. So as long as I don't lose it (which ironically, I have) I'm good with it, if it breaks or wears out... a little more expensive than some of the others but I like it.

Cool, thanks for the quick response.
