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
Almost spit my coffee out god damn was not ready to read that 😂
Not to be that person but ethernet is the specification, the "grappling hook" you are referring to is the connector (Rj45 8p8c). Ethernet has a ton of different connectors in the spec from SFP to DE-9 and even HDMI.
Tape is your friend, it's how I pull it through walls.
VGA cables.
