I’m a field tech, once I was installing a line at a customer not far from home, my company supplied a box with 300m of CAT6 cable to wire everything up but the customer insisted that we use their own, armored cable. For my company it was part of the supply, already billed. I drove there so I could carry whatever I wanted. That box of cable is now in my garage.
I took a big box of cat-5 from when my office was being shut down. I made ethernet cables of varying lengths as I needed them.
Eventually they called me back and hired me as management in a new area and I worked there for 7 more years. No regrets. Would steal again.
