   I know we've moved past fiber-wrapped cables for Good Reasons but I think it'd be funny if some of the Rope Geeks produced ethernet cables.

   I want a hemp cat6 cable damn it.
   It should come with rope oil and those emt safety sheers

     @morgant yeah, I grew up in a house from the 20s, and it was all knob-and-tube cloth-wrapped shit. We only ever had one major electrical issue, thankfully.

     @foone The house I grew up in had knob-and-tube wiring and those wires were fiber-wrapped and "nothing bad happened". That said, that house also had a two-story outhouse (fortunately offset slightly.)

     Vehicles moved from fiber-wrapped wiring to newer plastic-coated wiring is actually _much tastier_ to rodents. Plus, my old #SeriesLandRover with all that fiber-wrapped wiring only had one fuse, so super easy to work on.

     I digress. Yes, hemp cat6 with rope oil and porcelain connectors.
