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

@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 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.

@foone Ours house was a New England mill-worker's home from the 1890s, so also had horse-hair and wood-lattice insulation behind all the plaster walls -- Surprise, I'm highly allergic to horses! -- and when my parents sold the house they were required to have the wiring modernized. Very understandable, but difficult with the wood lattice!
