358242 2005-05-25 04:11:00 Anyone in Christchurch make patch cables, can you supply the wire and plugs, and crimp the plugs onto the end?

I need about 60 meters, will have to lay the cable first, probally take about a day, then need the plugs crimped on.

Cheers
Rob

It's a better job if you put wall mounted sockets on the ends of fixed cables, then use patch cords to connect equipment. Most modern jacks come with "caps" which will insert the cables, or a Telecom style tool will work.

Be aware that there are different RJ45 plugs for solid and stranded conducter cable. South Island Components (sicom.co.nz) have both sorts. I've seen the tools at around $20.
