Chuckle. I have about 50 feet of cat-5, the rounded blue stuff, strung in a chinese handcuff on each end of a suspended run from a corner of my back porch roof to the apex of a 12x16 shed up on the hill which has some of my cnc machinery in it, been there since about 2002, and has survived a 112 mph direcho that took 4 of our 40 foot pine trees down and did $18000 damage to the house in 2010. And its still there, logging no errors, right now in 2019. You greatly underestimate the durability of that stuff. > --- > This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. > https://www.avast.com/antivirus Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
