Re: RE: (ukha_d) (OT) Cat5 B&Q rant, was RPP Easy-clip faceplate

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

My local B&Q Warehouse sells:

305M CAT5E cable drums (at a ridiculously overpriced £49.95!)
CAT5 cable testers
CAT5 Patch cables in numerous lengths and colours
8 port hubs
mini patch panels (either 12 or 16 ports, I can't remember which)
Network starter kits (a hub, some PCI cards, some patch cables, and 100m of
solid-core cable)
Faceplates
RJ45 sockets.

Didn't see any RJ45 plugs or crimp tools though...
