LPT: If you have a lot of loose zip ties, well cut the head off of one and zip the rest onto that! (lemmy.world)

You ever been on a team that installed a whole new system and all new Ethernet lines at a bank? I have, twice. We're the kinda guys that arrange what they call cableporn on the internet.

If you gotta run 32 Ethernet lines for a distance of 200 feet, those zip ties have to be evenly and sensibly spaced, so it's part measuring, dividing out, and wait for it...

Counting.

So are you a mechanic with oily hands or someone who installs cables in banks?
