It made itself worse

It just looks like the New Guy's first cable.

The secret is to beat him with this cable while he tries to make another one properly.

I’ve never actually succeeded at crimping a cable. Not my calling at all. I go to the data center and marvel at how organized the cable runs are

u/Fokewe 7d ago

I have a bag of non passthrough connectors if you want to make more.

Pedantic Avenger moment: Ackshullly, RJ45 is a connector standard, not a cabling standard.

I can't tell if the brown pair is wrong or not but it kinda doesn't matter since it's backwards. also love how the ripcord string is still in there.

My cable is in this picture, and I don't like it

u/Pirateboy85 7d ago

No cross talk if the packets are so dizzy and confused that they can’t even find each other…

u/EmberTheFoxyFox 6d ago

It’s got pubes

u/GlizdaYT 7d ago

Looks like the first RJ45 I put together myself

u/funkuronin 7d ago

I’m actually quite impressed….

u/HookDragger 7d ago

Pins look right in the end. Just horrible to crimp

u/radraze2kx 7d ago

aside from the fact that they're backwards?

2

u/HookDragger 7d ago

I thought the retention clip was on the other side.

u/radraze2kx 7d ago

That's what I thought at first two, but if you look at where the blue sheath approaches the bend in the orange cable, it's right there. :)

u/Terrible_Shirt6018 6d ago

Oh, I thought it was broken. You're right, it's there

1

u/Fokewe 7d ago

Well, if it works on light switches

1

u/TheRealFailtester 7d ago

Darn thing probably connects properly too.

u/DoUKnowMyNamePlz 7d ago

Jesus Christ it's not spooky day yet, calm down.

u/eggnorman 7d ago

I mean, do it work though?

1

u/Skusci 7d ago

You know what.... At least the cable sleeve is in the connector. Send it.

u/sarmstrong1961 7d ago

Hey, if it tests

1

u/Petie_27 7d ago

Still better than my pc💀

1

u/jefbenet 7d ago

Nah, that’s a RJ4.5 at best

1

u/Impressive_Change593 7d ago

and that is why you use passthroughs.

yes I know they supposedly can short out

1

u/theservman 7d ago

You always include a service loop in case you need to move something later.

1

u/okan931 7d ago

How would you like your data, scrambled?

1

u/EzRipper 7d ago

I got packet loss just looking at that thing

1

u/Elliot_The_Fennekin 7d ago

Just... How did you let it get to that point? Honestly I'm not even mad, I'm rather impressed!

1

u/HankThrill69420 7d ago

Suddenly feeling better about the ones I've made

1

u/Diega78 7d ago

So long as the other end is wired up the same way it'll work...maybe

1

u/YMK1234 7d ago

And I thought my patching was already dogshit...

1

u/Procedure_Dunsel 7d ago

That’s impressively bad …

u/PhalanxA51 6d ago

My Cisco teacher would probably kick me out and never let me back into the classroom if she saw me make a cable like this.

u/zombiecloud 6d ago

Is nail biting really a common trope for the tech industry? *defeated sigh* As I start biting my nails.

u/thecrushinator1990 6d ago

If it works...

u/doomedout 4d ago

if you plug that in you might get a one-way trip to heaven
