    If you want one on-site at Expo, it will be $20. It will be handmade, and it will be given to you with bitching and complaining by me.

    Monoprice link. I would be willing to coordinate purchasing several of these to secure discount and have them shipped directly to ICHQ (if possible) or sent up with @_k_.

    ... Next time I make it to EPIC (if I ever do) I'm so bringing a spool of CAT6, a bunch of ends and a crimper so I can undercut prime's prices.
  • I already bought 2 25 foot cables for this.
    Do I really need to buy a 50 foot? I'll do it, but you have to tell me it's absolutely necessary.

    25's are fine :)

    I'd buy your Chinese counterfeit cables any day. "Primersuspeet Cable Co. Ltd."

    just tie two of the ends together.

    I don't know that I have a 50', but I have a few 25'.
  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian
    NOW WITH 100% MORE 25 FOOT
  • KwitkoKwitko Sheriff of Banning (Retired) By the thing near the stuff Icrontian
    it will be given to you with bitching and complaining by me.
    Which is worth at least $10 alone.

    Bring TWO! (personal experience)
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian
    Really... 15' would do if that's all you have. Just make sure the damn thing works and stays put.

    There are only 4 switches... sometimes the switch for your table is 2 tables away.

    25 is really recommended so we can route them to not step on them (and we still step on them).
  • LincLinc Owner Detroit Icrontian
    Oh? I thought it was 1 per table, my bad.
  • fatcatfatcat Mizzou Icrontian
    I remember when all we needed was a 7 foot cable.

    Time for more switches
  • AlexDeGruvenAlexDeGruven Wut? Meechigan Icrontian
    I'll bring an extra 25 with me in case anyone forgets and doesn't want to listen to @primesuspect bitch incessantly while he makes a cable (but really, who wouldn't want to watch that? :) )

    I would agree, find me some more nice Cisco 24-port for free and we will have them ;) Consumer 8-ports don't give us the performance we want with 50 people playing games.

    I will be bringing a 1000' spool with me.

    Oh, so 12 ports isn't good enough, okay.

    It's not really a hack, since it's also for college employees. ;) You only get free shipping with those accounts though, no streaming videos or anything.
