Plenum SVGA Monitor Cables - Plenum rated monitor cables support today’s high end, high resolution displays just like PVC monitor cables, supporting resolutions of 800 x 600 and up. The jacket on plenum cables is made a low smoke, fire retardant material that maybe require by some building codes. Depending on your local building codes, the Plenum rated jacket maybe the only cable acceptable for in wall, or plenum air space runs. Plenum Super VGA cables are available in both a replacement version and a extension version.
EZ Install SVGA Monitor Cables - These are identical to your standard SVGA cable with the exception that these cables have one end that is detachable, sometimes referred to as a "break away cable". The removable end allows you to easily run these SVGA cables through conduit without the tedious task of having to wire the cable on site. This can save a ton of time and save a lot of headaches.

Below is a small portion of the ComputerCableStore.com Guide "How to Make CAT5e Patch Cables". Please visit the ComputerCableStore.com to find the full artical.
Step 1: Before we start building a patch cable you will need to cut a length of stranded CAT5e. When cutting the length you should make sure to measure. Nothing is worse than the patch cable you just built being an inch too short for your application. After cutting the desired length we will start building our cable by stripping back approximately 1 inch of the jacket. We use Ideal's 45-165 Coaxial Stripper for this purpose. When striping back the jacket make sure that the depth of your stripper is set deep enough to cut the jacket but not so deep that it nicks the conductors. If you do nick the conductors while stripping the cable, the cable may work fine at first, but after time the conductors will break, or even worse, begin to short out.
Step 2: Now that we have the jacket stripped back we'll want to separate and straighten the pairs. We'll start by pulling the first pair and the last pair to their respective sides (Orange to the left and Brown to the right). Untwist these pairs making sure not to untwist the cable any further than you've stripped back the jacket. Now we'll split the green pair. Pull the white/green conductor to the left and the green conductor to the right. This leaves you with the blue pair in the middle. Untwist the blue taking care to ensure that the white/blue conductor is on the left and the blue conductor on the right.Note: Normally, it would be unmentionable to untwist the CAT5e pairs, except when building patch cables. It would be almost impossible to insert the conductors into the proper connector locations without untwisting. (Keep in mind you want to keep as much of the twist of each pair intact in order to meet performance standards.)
Step 3: Now that we've separated and straightened the pairs we need to arrange the conductors in the proper order according to which wiring standard you are using. For this example we will be wiring via the 568-B standard (most common in patch cables). Please consult the pin-out for the proper color codes. After you have the wires arranged, place them tightly together as show in the picture to the right. Once this is done, verify that the wires are still in the proper order and continue to step 4.
Step 4: Now we need to trim the conductors down to fit into the RJ45 connector. While trimming, make sure you make a nice clean cut at a 90 degree angle about 1/2 of an inch from the end of the jacket. If you fail to make a straight cut, some of the conductors may not reach the connector contacts. If you cut the conductors too short, again they will not make contact. If you leave the conductors too long, when crimping the connector, the jacketing will not be gripped leaving the strain on the conductors. This is not a good situation! For proper trimming, hold the wires securely just at the end of the jacket as shown in the picture to the left. Be sure to keep the conductors in the proper order.

ICC - ICC Copper and Fiber Optic Structured Cabling Products
ICC aggressively helps contractors win jobs with incentives, project pricing, and even assisting contractors to convince spec engineers or enterprises to open the spec that calls out for a big name brand. When you are bidding for a job, ICC know's that price means getting the work or not. You can not win a project if you have to pay 20%-40% on brand names.
ICC's products are priced aggressively because they manage and control unnecessary expenditures, which translates to less overhead, so they don't have to make those outrageous margins like those big named brands. ICC haa one goal in mind - offer quality products at the lowest price possible.
ICC products not only exceed all the TIA performance standards, but they went one step further and took their products to independent test labs, Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and National Technical Systems (NTS), and had them certified. Don't take their word for it, go to (icc.com/ul) and find out for yourself.
For decades thousands of small to mid-size contractors have switched from big name brands to ICC. ICC's products bring big name quality to affordable levels. Once you experience ICC products, it just doesn't make sense to go back and pay for the big name brand ever again.
ICC has streamlined and fine-tuned its entire operations, maximizing its efficiency to the greatest extent possible. As a result of these measures, our customers and vendors will reap the benefits of ICC's ISO 9001 registration and ICC's minority business certification. More specifically, our recent ISO 9001:2000 registration translates to a high level of excellence in ICC products, services, and customer satisfaction.
ICC has maintained it's ISO 9001 registration since July 5, 1999. ISO 9001 is an internationally-recognized quality management and assurance standard. The new 9001:2000 registration signifies that ICC has a quality system in place that meets or exceeds ISO 9001:2000 requirements and customer expectations. American International, a respected and ANAB accredited international registrar, approved ICC for certification and will continue to audit and monitor ICC operations periodically as part of ISO 9001:2000 requirements.
In combination, the ISO 9001:2000 registration and the 30-Year Warranty Program provide compelling reasons to offer ICC to our customers as a total solution for network connectivity and cable management.
