This begs the question why we don't worry about
reflections on unterminated
CAT5. The reason is that each CAT5 cable connects
only 2 points, and if one
point is disconnected, theres no other device whose
reception is adversely
affected by the reflections.

I don't think that's right.


Arny not right?

*Impossible* - just ask him!


Actually in this instance Arny *is* right.
"SpamTrapSeeSig" misunderstood the point.


Oh David, you're killing Keith. In his world I'm wrong
until proven right. ;-)

It's the same for everybody in these newsgroups! ;-)

No. There are people here whose comments should be
taken at face value.


Why?

Track record.

And others who come close to deserving a blanket
dismissal out of hand.

Why?

Track record.

Insufficient answer.

On another occasion we were required to attend a
training session where one of the software developers
showed us how to graft an RJ45 to a length of CAT5
Choosing to ignore the fact that the clamp missed the
sheath on his effort, I pointed
out that he had just crimped a normal plug to solid
cored cable. The guy had no idea.

Since CAT5 is normally solid core, why wouldn't it be appropriate to use a solid core plug?

These weren't solid core plugs, these were normal plugs designed for stranded patch leads
and have an IDC blade oriented on-axis to the conductor

I call them "normal" plugs because if you order RJ45 crimp connectors with no other qualification, that is what you get.
