Again, thanks for the help guys.

The cables are manufactured with the connectors on them, but it's always a possibility that they weren't crimped properly from the get go.

Something else I just came across is that you shouldn't apply a lot of pressure when pulling network cables. Apparently, 25 pounds is the most they can handle, but I don't know how much truth there is to that.

I'll see if I can find where I read that.

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.
