Ethernet is Still Going Strong After 50 Years::The technology has become the standard LAN worldwide

I always crimp my own, including using slide-on/slide-off hoods. That way I can back the hood off before plugging it into the port, which keeps it easy to disconnect, and I can slide it back on before pulling it through a tight spot.

I crimp my own, but never used the hoods before on self made. Usually I run it where it needs to be then put the end on
