I’d been thinking about a Ethernet And Then Some exhibit for the past couple years, so yeah maybe I do a class Friday and exhibit the stuff over the weekend. … I’ll need to free up a 2-post network rack between now and next April. :) — Jameel Akari

This is beginning to sound like a VCF exhibitor. You could show how vampire taps were used in ThickNet 10Base-5. I'm sure people might also like to see Thin-net terminators and "T" connectors. For that matter, maybe some Token-Ring stuff would be cool. (Note: I have none of this stuff) Bruce Muschlitz (casual attendee from PA))

CDL has a pneumatic crimper for D shell connectors (for making AIU and serial cables) and tooling for the 172157 "N" connectors used for Belden 9880 thicknet

If it looks like I can make VCF East next year, I’d be happy to teach a class on this - and other more-vintage cabling.
It’s not quite too-soon, IMO, when we have machines going on 30-35 years old that have Ethernet.
