HKSturboKID: You can't get a crimping tool for $14 Omagh apparently lives in Korea. Crappy crimpers start at around $20 from shady online vendors with another $5-$7 in shipping. If you want to do it right, forget the tools and get a spool of solid core wire and some punchdown-less keystone jacks and install proper jacks in your walls. You don't even need a patch panel - just get a 6 or 8 hole keystone for the closet.

Otherwise, just buy pre-made cables at Dell, Best Buy, Target, 7-11, or the Texaco Quick Mart. There's no need to spend the exorbitant amount of time and money making your own. For the hubless folks (a.k.a. sorry-ass modem users), crossover cables are available in every length and color nowadays at every store. A few years ago you had to look up wiring diagrams and buy crimpers etc. if you wanted anything other than a 7' crossover cable but now even Target has a full selection of crossover cables on the shelf.

Ferengi: sqeezing a deal for all its worth, Capitalism, good

 

[Pothead]

Ferengis rule. They are essentially Anandtechers!

Rule Acquisition # 434: Never call CSR

Rule Acquisition # 324: Do not think about the feelings of the company you are ripping off

 

[Jeshurun]

I bought 10 and just got confirmation! Gotta love it.

 

[MrHappyMonkey]

ordered 10 for $12.xx shipped. These will be pretty usefull at work since these stupid things keep dying. This price sure beats the heck out of paying $20 for a D-link NIC at Office Max.

Don't mind csaddict, he probably hasn't been getting any Oomax lately.

Stop smoking while you read the Rules of Acquisition!

Rule of Acquisition # 324: Companies do not have feelings. If they try to screw you, return the favor.

Rule of Acquisition #434: Never call CSR's, or otherwise alert employees to deals until after you have the item in hand. (Even "hew-mons" will sneeze if you wave enough beetle-snuff under their noses.)

I ordered a couple earlier this afternoon, haven't gotten an email confirmation yet. When I go check my account profile and order history, it says that my account isn't linked with a customer number so it can't check. What is a customer number?

 

[kbaxter]

Great find! I ordered a few this evening. I got the confirmation, but I have to wonder if they'll be able to fill the orders, based on the numbers being thrown around here....good luck to all of us and Merry Christmas!

 

[rlc]

i guess this product aint brand new? i still ordered 10 of em anyway, its such a killer price, got em for $8.08 total

 

[IClight]

Since this has become a networking thread too:

make your own cables

The cheapest place to get the crimper locally is Office Depot. I think I paid 24.95 or 29.95 vs the 39.95 at Compusa. Add some ends and use the 10 off 50 coupon.

I have bought a crimping tool in March of this year for $14.00. It works perfectly.
I work in the NY City area and there are lots of places that sell imported stuff cheap. I have even
seen them at a computer show less than two weeks ago for less than $20.00.

All I can say is that YMMV. I also concur with the suggested switchover of the color code posted
above. It helps align pins 4 & 5 by differentiating the colors. Even though 4 & 5 may not be needed
for 10 Base T it helps with alignment when you are loading the RJ45 jacks. Pin all eight pins and you
will be good for future expansion.

Anyone realized these are refurbs?

<< no way did you just order 300!!!!!????? did you mean 30? Otherwise, ebay featured dutch auction here you come.... >>

I bet there will be a lot of e*ay'ers buying these and selling them. >>



Yeah and considering Dell is selling them for this price it will be hard for them to sell on ebay due to the fact its so cheap on Dell site.
