Kukunet!
This is the label from a roll of chicken wire. Since our ISP is UUNet, this always makes me laugh.
I kept it for some time and then used it in this project:
![[In The Making]](http://bitterjug.com/wp-content/upholstry.jpg)
I was building this thing:

Through the help of Chris and Cad, and of a local man in Tala who used to work in Goonhilly as a networking engineer, I have managed to assemble a small collection of network cable samples. They are, from left to right:
- Some kind of thick coax with a screw connector. Not real thick Ethernet but something similar that I picked up on a visit to UUNet Kenya
- Loose bundle fibre optic cable with four fibres
- Unshielded twisted pair cable: four pairs of wires with an RJ45 connector
- Shielded twisted pair cable: four pairs and a layer of foil shielding under the outer cladding
- Wireless! X)
- Thin Ethernet coaxial screened cable
