Need a cord ASAP. I mean like right now. It needs to be 135 ft long. the longest i got is 100. i was wondering if i took a 100 and a 50 and cut them and wire nutted them togeter would it work well? would it be a permant solution. Let me know what you guys think. id think it would work as long as u kept the connections good. Wirenut it and then tape it real well so none of them would ever come lose. But hell you never know.

also im looking for a computer application for testing cat5 lines. i know they make little thing you just plug in and test them. but i was thinking if i had a application i could just keep on my laptop it would be cheaper. and for the little i do with cables it would work nicely. Well let me know if u guys know of any.
