Subject: Re: free long (approx 30ft) ethernet cables
I run the installfests (at least the end of month ones). Among the
materials Alexander left me are a number of ethernet cables probably 14' and
shorter. I've never had to use more than 3 of them. I do use my own 50'
cable to run from the wall socket to the AP/router I set up.

I would not mind getting ONE of the 30' cables so I can leave my own at home
but really have no need for more than that.

AZloco, largely in the person of Todd Cole, is driving an attempt to improve
our installfests by getting some advertising from the city of Tempe and
running some additional installfests. He may have some need but I suspect
for not more than a couple as he also seems well supplied.
