About 4 years ago, I lost a case of tools. Until then, I made my own
cable/connector sets for a lot of things from coax for TV, coax for ham
radio (UHF, BNC, and N connectors), Cat5, and even power cords. I buy
surge protectors with longer cords, cut them to the needed length, and
put on a new plug. Eventually I will re-collect these tools and be able
to do this again. I make a few of these at work (mostly Cat5 and DB-9)
for special needs. We have some of the tools there.
I'd like to make my own HDMI, USB, and Firewire cables to the right
length, but I have not seen separate connectors available for them.
I've never done fiber optics.
