    always buy the more expensive ones with the foreskin.

      The foreskin gets in the way when pulling it out of the port though.

          I’m pretty sure your ethernet cable shouldn’t be getting hot

            What about getting hot for your Ethernet cable?

            Your nice, long, sexy Ethernet cable? With that wide bandwidth? That low latency? I’m getting wet just thinking about it. Let’s LAN party ;)

        I always crimp my own, including using slide-on/slide-off hoods. That way I can back the hood off before plugging it into the port, which keeps it easy to disconnect, and I can slide it back on before pulling it through a tight spot.

          I crimp my own, but never used the hoods before on self made. Usually I run it where it needs to be then put the end on

      I’ve never heard it called foreskin, that’s pretty funny, but FYI, the proper term is “boot”. And I’m a big fan of no boots in the rack. They are nice for desks and places cables might be rearranged constantly, but in switches and backs of servers they just slow you down.
