They are 3com TP/8's that come in an obnoxious yellow box and black instead of white. They wall mount and stack equally well.

Belden rj45/rj12 crimper with both die is about um... $80+$25+$25 Belden coax crimpers are about $115. BNC end crimps are about $0.95/ea. RJ45 ends are about $0.45. I'm not in practice but it takes me about 4 minutes crimp an rj45, and about 2 minutes for a bnc crimp. I'm not opposed to coax, but I've run into very few situations that it makes sense to use over utp. > I will agree to that, however I learned a long time ago to always run at > least twice the amount of leads you THINK you'll need :) 10bT is cheap. You should pay b/t $80 - $100 for 1000' of AT&T or Belden cable. Labor is expensive. Run a shitload. Hell, run fiber and leave it in the wall if you've a mind to. (Ok, fiber is a little more expensive...) Have a good one. | Matthew N.
