I've got a small Enterprise customer running on a Dell r710, 2gb ram to the slightly custom docker image for nc, 4gb+ for the woods sit, the other 14gb to KVM to run a windows application.
It's sad how much waste goes into building stuff. Like you really don't see it till you're in it, it's mind boggling how many plastic baggies I get from digikey for example.
Working on environmental r&d I keep trying to tell myself the ends justify the means, the ends justify the means, but.. worried about it.
Anyway! Glad we're experienced at reducing waste as the years have passed. You, me, possibly the other readers. We're doing the best we can.
Nah man, these were terminations from companies like L-com, molex for a little while, etc.
You're absolutely correct otherwise, but we spent money on what were supposed to be reliably engineered products by large connector companies. The wire was supposed to be good stuff too. I was a lot younger so I don't remember the exact details honestly.
In my experience, long term reliability of crimped stranded cable (that particular combo, to be clear) has lower longevity with vibratory environments.
There are some crimps that are great for stranded, but the RJ series (and others which stamp down) generally don't seem to be good enough.
Great idea, gentle on the fiber too
