Quick Question about a Dell Latitude lappy...

[Comp625]

When ordering a Lattitude (the D800 specifically), does it come with a Cat5 cable? Or do you have to purchase that seperately?

 

[iamwiz82]

have to purchase seperately.

 

[DnetMHZ]

No Dell laptop I've ever seen has come with a cable.

 

[Comp625]

Ok thanks! 🙂

 

[sohcrates]

dell's tend to come with phone cables, but i've never seen cat5

cat5 is an ethernet cable, right?

no, he should have a box of 500' raw cable, ends, and a crimper. 😛

Tell them you won't buy it unless it comes with the cable free.

I'll bet they'll tell you to get lost.

No, he should have a box full of unopened Cat-5 cables that he got for $0.99 off the Hot Deals forum, shipped free, AC/AR/PM/YMMV.

Actually they'd probably give him the cable. I know a guy that's squeezed a whole bunch of free stuff out of Dell, including a free Cat5 cable.
