A contractor is doing Appletalk cabling for us. He bought the cable
from Belden, and contacted Apple to by connectors. Apple tells
him that it is impossible to buy connectors themselves. If you need
only a handful of connectors, you must buy a $650 cable kits which
includes 26 connectors and 100 meters of cable.

This seems absurd. Does anyone know a way around it.
