Anyone know where I can pick up a 15m CAT5 or better CAble ?

They make them up for you. Can get any length afaik.

Last place I bought was Chaos. Think Viva might have too though. Get CAT5e.

Gregg, if you're in the Northern suburbs, try Compunet in La Belle Business park, Stikland. Paid R3.26/metre (Cat5e) ex. VAT in August. http://www.cnt.co.za

If you needed a 10m stretch I would have been able to help.

Anyone know of a Shop or Person around Montague Gardens that will be able to make or supply me with one of theses at a reasonable price ? i.e. not R18/M

Tried the local pet store?

Do yourself a favour and buy a crimper. Then all you need from there is Cape Cables

Gotta Love the Skilled labout in this country.. I paid R10/m for a 15m piece of Lan cable which is a rip... then I get home it doesn't work... so I recond maybe they didnt test it dodgy connection o'r something.. So I have a look.. the thing is wired wrong.. not a staight or a cross over..

The way I know network cables it should be
A)wg,g,wo,bl,wbl,o,wbr,br
B)wo,o,wg,bl,wbl,g,wbr,br

A - A for straight
A - B for Cross Over

My cable A - wo,o,wbl,g,wg,bl,wbr,br (wtf is that)


Now I gotta drive 20km to get the cable corrected.. should have just bought the crimper...

Nice work Computers@bayside
