rtcvb32: I've noticed half the wires in most cables are grounds. The only exceptions i know of are the 9/25 pin serial cables where i think 1 pin was either dead (like used in VGA cords), are there to make the shape unique, or was a timing line.
And gigabit copper, which really uses all eight wires in full duplex.

Cyraxpt: Madeira. :)

No need anyway, i actually prefer the cat 5 since it's more robust than the adsl one, obrigado.
I figured that much.
It must be a pain, but I guess the people at Azores get it even worse.
So an update to this thread, yesterday it crafted the new cable and it worked perfectly, i'll need to be carefull with the connectors since they're a bit loose due to the cable being too big for the whole (that's what she said?).

The funny part is that i ordered a pack of 50 connectors because it was the only purchase available for my country in a small number AND it was the last pack available... 50...
Now, i was all happy that my delivery had arrived, checking my stuff when i see this huge bag filled with connectors... "Wait, this can't be right"... It was a large plastic bag with 8 small bags with 50 connectors each, doing the math, now i have 400 connectors. What the hell???
Dunno, i'm reading the page and i don't see anything about 8 packs of it (like i said, it even said it was the last stock that they had), bit confused, the right thing would be to contact amazon about this but considering the price of these and considering that i would have to pay for the package to send it back i'm not sure if i should.

Well, if i manage to get some cable i could open a mini-mini-mini factory and build some adsl cables since those are hard to find around here. :p

I doubt that there's a lot of demand for these not to say it was going to be the same problem with sending back to amazon, the delivery costs... Eh, i'll keep them here for a while and decide what to do with them later.
