You know what you’re right. I missed that. It’s still standard practice to cut them for ease of cable pulling (and because fuck unplugging umpteen bajillion of those little fuckers). They may also have just been ordered as custom sizes for the particular install so they still cant be recycled, but the big reasons for doing it are just convenience.
But those green cables have factory molded boots, not a slip on boot on a custom cut cable like the white ones in the photo?
So those green cables seem like they would be standard length patch cables and only the white is a custom cut.
