Re: Cat 5 connector problem...

["noel_pilot" <HA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

for the love of god don't buy a cheap one! I bought one for =A315 from
ebay and it is proper pants! a true wind up! the little bits that push
the contacts down are plastic, are too thick and move so each
connector is a mission to do...not fun!

well worth the extra dosh for a decent one for those that do a few but
for yourself try and borrow one for beer or go to your local
independent computer shop and see if they will let you use theirs for
a couple of quid
