What standards exist for the physical work of installing and testing Thin Ethernet cable? Here's the situation: We've got cable that's been installed and terminated by several groups (both internal and external) in several buildings. Some of the work is abysmal - insulation that ends 1/4" below the connector and exposes the braid, gobs of braid-hair extending from the connector, connectors that come off with 20 lbs. force, etc. Now I know that's not acceptable, but the people who did the work insist it's "good enough and meets specs". Are there any sources that address these mechanical elements of the installation? -- Dave Anderer Academic Computing and Instructional Technology University of Delaware
