Where do you get your patch cables.

[Kyle]

We are going to need to buy a load of network leads and patch cables soon. I wonderd where you lot get yours from and who is the most competitive?

[webman]

We get most of ours from our cabling company, Conex, but we've also bought from Videk before.

Don't be so lazy take a roll of cable home with you buy some plugs and crimpers (out of your own money of course) and spend an evening making them.

Not forgetting the unnecessarily-expensive testing gear

[john]

[Grommit]

Phone them and they will beat any price you have...

[Norphy]

We get ours from Probrand generally.

[mattx]

Make ours to measure - its FUN !!!!






When they work.....
Cable testers are quite cheap now... [ Unless you want a Fluke which cost quite a bit... ]

[Diello]

Videk or Comms Express

I would like working cables at the end of it. Admittedly, the idea of working sixth formers is quite a novel one. They do even less work than our network technician who won't make cables because it takes too long. I could make one in the time he spends on the phone ordering one.
