Branded cables are a lot more expensive than self crimped ones in India. Quality is definitely better. The branded ones come in specific lengths and the cable is factory crimped /moulded and thus will have a longer life and lower resistance at the connector pins. This is also a high margin item for the manufacturer as the price is low comapred to other equipment they make. I've founded crimping RJ45s to cable cut to desired lengths work just as well here. Costs a whole lot less as labour is not expensive in India (as compared to the US). I've not found the premium for branded cable worth the difference in quality as we can re-crimp here in India easily. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
