deagonx Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I keep most of the variax cable wrapped even when I'm using it, because 25' is just so much longer than I have any use for. I was wondering if any shorter cables are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 As far as I know, they come in just one length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurghanico Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 You can get a CAT5 or CAT5e ethernet cable of the length you want and put Ethercon Canon casings on its ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High quality cable, reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Ethernet cable without ends must first be inserted into a part of the Ethercon Canon casings (the part that then simply has to be screwed on) it is necessary to have an RJ45 crimping tool to build the complete (cable + RJ45 connectors) Ethernet cable from scratch and only then attach the final part of the Canon casings. If you want to avoid DIY, you can find, for example, on Amazon ready-made Ethercon cables available in various lengths at affordable prices that work well.

I think I'll go with the ready-made cables to keep it simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
