PERSONAL NOTES
• If you're going to make a lot of cable (or even buy a
lot of cable), you should get your hands on a good
cable tester. They don't cost too much, unless you
splurge for the super-duper high-end models...
• My $30 cable crimper from RadioShack is better than
the expensive model that was purchased from BlackBox.
