The only bad thing about Ethernet cables is that they’re shaped like a goddamn grappling hook. If I wanna pull an Ethernet cable through my desk, I must understand that every other cable in its path is coming with it.
always buy the more expensive ones with the foreskin.
The foreskin gets in the way when pulling it out of the port though.
Tell me about it.
Hot
I'm pretty sure your ethernet cable shouldn't be getting hot
What about getting hot for your Ethernet cable?
Your nice, long, sexy Ethernet cable? With that wide bandwidth? That low latency? I'm getting wet just thinking about it. Let's LAN party ;)
Choke me daddy
And spank me with this:
I've never had that problem 😉
I always crimp my own, including using slide-on/slide-off hoods. That way I can back the hood off before plugging it into the port, which keeps it easy to disconnect, and I can slide it back on before pulling it through a tight spot.
I crimp my own, but never used the hoods before on self made. Usually I run it where it needs to be then put the end on
I've never heard it called foreskin, that's pretty funny, but FYI, the proper term is "boot". And I'm a big fan of no boots in the rack. They are nice for desks and places cables might be rearranged constantly, but in switches and backs of servers they just slow you down.
Almost spit my coffee out god damn was not ready to read that 😂
