Anyone knows how to make CI cable (a kind of BNC cable)?

This link seems to say that CI cables use TNC connectors. http://vaxarchive.vax.org/hw/cables.html#BNCIA Seems they make them in different lengths, so I don't see why you couldn't cut them and put new TNC connectors on the ends. Just make sure you get the right TNC connectors for the cable type. - Bob -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-admin(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-admin@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Gunther Schadow Sent: Monday, May 27, 2002 2:41 AM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Anyone knows how to make CI cable (a kind of BNC cable)? Hi, my CI cables are too long for my little basement computer room. I get all tangled up in the coils. OTOH I need a few more cables. So, how hard will it be to just cut the cables in half and mount new connectors? This cable is very similar to thick wire ethernet, but not the same. Does it require special tools? regards, -Gunther -- Gunther Schadow, M.D., Ph.D. gschadow(a)regenstrief.org Medical Information Scientist Regenstrief Institute for Health Care Adjunct Assistant Professor Indiana University School of Medicine tel:1(317)630-7960 http://aurora.regenstrief.org
