Not even the special RJ45 crimp-on connectors I like -- which may mean a slight delay even on this first bunch of dock shells, since I do prewire that portion regardless (and there are NOT even 10 sets of connectors on hand .. oops!).


Okay, I've made a tiny design change (first time in years) on the docks, and they can now be used with store-bought 12" ethernet patch cables internally, which solves the problem I was having with getting the EZ-RJ45 connectors (above). An added benefit is that this design permits easier field-replacement of the patch cable should it ever fail.

Now to see if I can find 12" patch cables at a reasonable price (gonna try at the Borg..).
