- Where can you go in Toronto to buy pre-made thinwire
- ethernet cabling?
-
- I know you can buy the wire and the parts at radio shack and make your
- own with these lame twist-on BNC connectors, but I have yet to build a
- *reliable* cable using that stuff. From now on I just want to buy
- premade cables with the ends already on. Making your own cables
- just isn't worth the hassle, especially if you have no good way of
- testing the cable.
-
-
- Incidentally I used to buy terminators at Radio Shack, but
- the last time I was there I found out that they've been
- discontinued and most of the shops don't stock them any more....
-
- Please reply by email; I'll summarize if there's interest.
-
- Thanks,
- Steve
