Per the recent discussion on thicknet/early Ethernet, I figured I'd see if there's any interest in cut-to-length Belden thicknet/10base5 Ethernet cable. I've got a local surplus guy who's got at least one 1100 foot roll. It's the real Ethernet spec stuff, sez so on the cable, and it has the bands to locate your vampire taps.
Intriguing.
If there's enough interest, I'll buy the spool off of him and cut it to length for whoever's interested in buying some. I can crimp N terminations on as well.
I'm sure my wife will question it, but I'm interested in knowing more. (The rules are that I have to be able to move it by myself, it can't be too loud, and it can't significantly alter the power bill.)
What sort of price per foot, per N connector, and your time & effort are you thinking about?
Depending on all of the above, I'd be curious to have one or two segments long enough to have two connections / taps each.
Also, how well can the hose pipe be coiled for shipping? -- Grant. . . . unix || die
