Per the recent discussion on thicknet/early Ethernet,
I figured I'd see
if there's any interest in cut-to-length Belden thicknet/10base5 Ethernet
cable. I've got a local surplus guy who's got at least one 1100 foot roll.
It's the real Ethernet spec stuff, sez so on the cable, and it has the
bands to locate your vampire taps.
Intriguing.
If there's enough interest, I'll buy the spool
off of him and cut it to
length for whoever's interested in buying some. I can crimp N terminations
on as well.
I'm sure my wife will question it, but I'm interested in knowing more.
(The rules are that I have to be able to move it by myself, it can't be
too loud, and it can't significantly alter the power bill.)
What sort of price per foot, per N connector, and your time & effort are
you thinking about?
Depending on all of the above, I'd be curious to have one or two
segments long enough to have two connections / taps each.
Also, how well can the hose pipe be coiled for shipping?
