I'm wondering what suppliers you recommend for patch cables? We need some cables around 0.3 m and 0.5m (not sure if any smaller)
We are trying to colour code some of our patch panels in our cabs so its easy to identify what goes where so a few good colour options would be nice..........!

Good luck organising your cabs. I spent a good couple of days doing that and it lasted about 3 mins before it got messed up again :wink: !
Thom: Ours used to be the same :lol: We don't change that much stuff now though so it still looks neat :)
We've used Patchsave and had good service from them.
Making cables is not fun, the last one I did started at 2m and ended up 6 inches!! :(

Webman, i notice from your gallary you have some Buffalo Terrastations. Been looking at them as they seem a cost effective (read: cheap) NAS solution. They any good? Sorry to wander off topic.Quote:

Are there no problems with throuput on the Terrastations? would they be any good as file servers?
