Re: What to do with two pairs of cat5 leftover
Just whats so hard about it?
Most guys can't even get CAT5e terminations right what do you think is going to happen with this?
To the point, I posed a question a little while ago and I never got an answer. True, CAT 7 (or even CAT 5e) terminations are no problem if you only are doing a few. What happens when you get a large job with 100's or 1000's of terminations? What kind of worker are you going to find that will do that repetitive BS day in and day out and do it right?
That's the problem, nobody with any intelligence is going to want do it, not to mention company liability for carpel tunnel and other repetitive motion problems.
One reason UTP replaced the old RG-58 thinnet, was because it was easier and more efficient to terminate than putting BNC connectors on coax. Seems that with each new generation UTP becomes a magnitude more fussy or difficult and CAT 7 takes a quantum leap.
It's going to come to the point where nobody is going to want to do this stuff and few of those who do will do it properly.
