    Surely this isn't really a "vintage" tester? (ebay link)

    Really struggling with RJ45 connectors.

    I have fitted RJ45 connectors to either side of a piece of cat5 cable but when I test it on the laptop I get no ethernet connection. I also have a pre-made ethernet cable which works fine so I know it's my home made ethernet cable. I cut the cat5 to 12.5mm and connect both ends the same (i.e...

    What's the Guild really been up to?

    In the beginning when the Guild created the Wiring regulations, the trade was a formless void and darkness covered the face of construction , while an idea from the Guild swept over the face of construction.
