Default Q: How long can I run a digital line?

Making your own is almost always cheaper because the labour of

It's rarely cheaper as what you gain by saving the labour is lost by
having to pay the retail cost of the bits.


For cheapie stuff, I would agree, but I'd imagine that there's a point where
the ready made product is substantially more expensive than the components.
(I was speaking in general terms, BTW, not neccessarily about cables.)
