Why is 6ft cat 8 the same price as 1.5 ft of cat 8? Why is two 6ft cat 6 only a dollar more than one 4ft cat 6?
I feel like it’s the hotdogs and hotdog buns mismatch all over again

And while I’m on this rant the extra wide shielding on the tips suck. You can’t plug them side by side in a switch without cutting it off

I’ve seen this also. There must be some manufacturing explanation, like the connections/ends are the most expensive component… but also just upcharging for smaller hardware
something something china
I’m going with up charge. I’m trying to limit the zip tied loops of cable behind my pile

I thought computer/networking cable management was bad… and then I recently got into hobbyist home music recording/studio. Running 48+ audio cables, 12+ MIDI, handful of USB… all in a small home office 🤣 it’s an ongoing project
Hahaha.
We need bun length cat cable
follow the money.
My guess is 1.5 is in higher demand so they mark it up. Same with the 4 foot.
Omg I remember when I had to set up my buddy’s 32 channel recording rig was bad lol…
Why you no buy a 100ft or larger roll
Because I’m too cheap to buy a crimper and tester even though I would save money and mental sanity
On connectorized pigtails most of the cost relies on the connectorizing process. And then you have to manage stocks and get rid of low rotation articles.
If you want to minimise cable price, get a crimper and buy a long roll of cable and the connectors that suit you.
That's the trade off, price vs simplicity.
