When I used to teach CIT, -I called this a "hardware virus." You should
carefully look at the pin HOLES in your routers. It's very likely that the
holes are mangled, --which then bends the pins of a perfectly good
cable, --which then mangles the holes of a perfectly good router interface
and so on.... and on...

So you see this is how a hardware virus works, --and it's why I'm VERY
reluctant to move cables in my lab.

Subject: Quality cables

I have six weeks to go until my lab date and am running into Layer 1
problems
when doing hands on labs. I purchased several back to back serial cables
but
spend a good part of the lab time that I set aside repairing pins on the
cables. If anyone knows a place to buy higher quality cables or has found
another solution to this problem I would love to hear about it. Thanks.

Charles
