Woohoo, sweet freedom.

So, yeah, turns out that door has been broken for over a year and nobody bothered to let me know, or, you know, actually fix the problem. They had some tape slapped over the latch but it fell off when I opened the door.

Pretty par for the course around here.

As far as I know, Rotary13B1 is the only (legal) seller of those. He designed them. I could be wrong, of course.
(Full disclosure: I own one of the Rotary 13B1 spinning rotor keychains. The solid cast rotors are cool, too.)


I read that menu, was planning journey up to Allen, and then noticed there's a Bedford location. Whelp, I know where I'm going next food outing.

What I'm saying is it seems I'm willing to pay the extra £100 to spend tomorrow with my kid rather than under the car.

I won't regret this decision.

I'm to the point now where I'd like to do this but I can't afford to :(

So strip back 6" of jacket, strip off all the shielding, untwist all the pairs, and jam them into a screw-terminal flush-mount socket, right? :v:

(seriously, how do you deal with connecting all the shields on that stuff? I've only dealt with stp cat5e which isn't too bad.)

The shields are supposed to be part of the Connector itself, a'la



The metal shielding grounds to the switch or hub's ports.

Right, but how do the individual pair shields connect to the main shield? Just through contact within the jacket? Or do they get terminated separately?

For those that don't lurk IRC, this is one of the impact sockets we have at work. We don't use them all the time, but when you are using one, you are probably running that impact all loving day.

They get terminated separately, the shielding just works as a Faraday cage around the bundle

I have like 2 copies of every book for school this year because I did a similar program already. I technically didn't have to go back to school but people from work are all taking a 2 yr course for their systems information technician license so I decided to take it to as a prep for the test.

I wonder if you rip all the foil off around the pairs or fold them back on top of the braided foil and bond it all to the jack...

Also... I guess they don't want you to comb out all the cables in the IDF anymore to prevent alien crosstalk.

Twist the foil and solder to the jack grounding strip.

You wouldn't be able to get the one with the 2.5l engine but you could still get the 155hp one. You'd be able to get a mid-specish hatchback for 20k or less.
