Modding 90 degree molex!

Yes I have been talking to Molex in the UK - but to be honest - plonkers - they didn't know they sold them until I quoted part number & they never did come back to me with a price (probably because I told them not to bother if unit price was >40p in 1000 quantities..) - normal molex females cost me under 10p each. But I have to crimp & solder all adds time

 

ooooooooooooooh! right, oops sorry.

 

for the evil baybus empire no doubt

no luck so far btw :/ and im beginning to feel a desperate need for sleep. rewired the whole house with cat6 in readiness for broadband D-day, but im short of faceplates, so i might try down at the local place when im down there, pretty knowledgable folk down there

 

whats the difference between cat 5 and cat 6?

Check out Leviton, they have faceplates. My uncle used their stuff for his home networking project (well of course he did, he writes all their software)

I know Cat5 is 8 strands of 24ga solid core copper wire, not sure about Cat6 though. Maybe it's bigger or thicker or faster.

 

cat 6 is bigger wiring capable of supporting gigabit lan.

 

Right.

Cat-3: designed for <= 10M/b nets and voice
Cat-5: designed for <= 100M/b nets
Cat-5e: pretty much same as cat-5, but works a LOT better on 100M/b nets
Cat-6: designed for gigabit nets

All wire is backwards compatable so you can use cat-6 on anything.

 

Cat6 cables are much more expensive though.

Now lets get back on topic.

Oclocker: Yea, it would be REAL COOL if Baybus.co.uk stocks them!

 

Also IIRC Cat-6 has a thingy on the inside of the cable that looks like a plus sign, separates the pairs (i.e. green/white-green has its own quadrant of the cable), and has a more temperature-resistant coating. The coating thing may have just been this one particular type of Cat-6, though.

I got a bunch from Molex for free just ask for some samples(Theres a free sample option on there website), I got mine within 3 days. Don't go abusing them tho they rock when it comes to free samples!!!


Thanks

NICE!

 

Swines never did send mine & yet I wanted to buy loads Probably sent instructions to the UK muppets who ignored it because.. well because they are muppets..

 

Agreed and well said!

 

Oclocker: whats the part number at molex for the right angle one? i wonder if they come in black? what can you use to paint them black? those are the bomb ive been looking for them for months now saw them first at extreme mzh but they dont seem to want to answer questions there. does anyone know sites in asia that caries these?

 

never got mine either, i did get an email saying they were discontinued tho :/

 

Same here.
Then I requested another model number and they said they recieved the request... but then nothing happened.

Emailed ScorpionMod a couple times regarding placing an order... no reply back.

Checking on Farnell almost daily... nothing happened.

 

dug this up because i need some pretty sharpish in the next week or so ... any one got some ?- need about 6 or so ?- need to source them in the UK ...

 

Too bad scorpionmods.com doesn't sell VGA coolers

 

nope non from uk that i know of or have found, order them from scorpion thats what i did and i got them within a week easily

 

Cool, thanks.
