Not exactly a prime "ResNet" question, but perhaps some of your networking folks have
run into this before...
Has anyone else had to deal with "can you provide network access at [some obscure
location with no infrastructure] for [some special event]" projects? Especially
recurring ones?
We have traditionally had our long ethernet jumpers and/or spool of
cable/terminators/crimp tool approach with duct tape and bailing wire, but it seems like
surely there is a better manufactured solution (ethernet switch / APs on a retractable
spool?) similar to the little retractable cables for laptops, just on a bigger scale.
Trying to eliminate those last-minute cable testing for the broken termination and other
esoteric errors that always seem to surface in these cases.
