Lord said:Does this work only on the individual wires or could a complete CAT5
cable be run through?
There was a large copy machine by the building dumpster yesterday
as luck would have it. I thought of ripping the motor(s) out but didn't get
around to it.
When I wired this office I'm sitting in now, I created four five foot high
piles of CAT5 that were probably 15 feet in diameter, from the removal
of the old wiring. I'm sure it was good money to someone that could
strip it.
It will, but it would probably take several passes. One to remove the
jacket, and another to strip the twisted pairs. I would cut it into
short pieces so that a single strand could be run through at a time, so
that it doesn't crush the copper into tiny bits. Six feet is usually
short enough to separate in a few seconds per pair. My design was for
electrical wire, but it can be scaled up, or down for other sizes.
BTW, I have been trying to arrange some oral surgery for a long
time. If I don't get it soon, I probably won't be around much longer.
The antibiotics run out tomorrow morning, and every oral surgeon in my
area has taken one look at the xray and refused to even attempt to
remove the infected teeth. The Florida State Dental school wants $110 a
tooth for emergency extractions, then they play a lousy lottery game
with their potential patients every day. It's a 90 minute trip for me
to get to the college. You have to be there before 7:00 AM, then after
everyone has registered, they draw names of those they will treat, that
day. That means that i have to find someone willing and able to take a
day off from work, until i finally get treatment. Also, they only do
one tooth per patient, per day.
