   I have lots of odd shorter lengths of solid cored CAT5 (plus a nearly
full drum), and a part drum of stranded CAT5 for patch leads (costs about
twice as much to buy), plus an AMP crimping tool, and insertion tool for
Krone-style connectors. AMP connectors for both stranded and solid cable are
available from www.NetShop.co.uk in Slough, (yes I do have some left). Did
you want to use a patch panel, wall sockets, and trunking, or simple plugs
on the ends of a loose cable?
