I remember trying to terminate some Cat5e in uni. I don’t think a single one of the cables I made up were able to do gigabit… actually I don’t think a single one was able to do 100 megabit. I’m colourblind so ordering the wires correctly was essentially impossible, but all of us involved were fucking up in various ways…
The Verizon guy liked coming to my place, asked me if I wanted modem upstairs or downstairs, told him it didn’t matter, left side right side either way. 5ms ping maybe $100 in crimpers and cat7 from Lowe’s.
the boot is certainly a nice thing to have!
but we all keep our rj45s and crimpers handy right? we all live this low voltage life? Right?
RIGHT??

Can I learn this power?
I certainly do. I store mine along with my cable tester in a Beretta pistol case because it confuses people.
