Now how to make a profit out of it for those of us still temporarily alive...

I have built data centers beginning in the days when 10 meg hubs were current state of the art. The only pre-made cable I have ever used were recent patch panel cables in a customers closet and I have made thousands of them while waiting for the emergency phone to ring or the Cisco courier to show up.

While it is possible to screw up cables and even graybar will happily deliver the wrong connectors in bags of 1000, there are basic testers and most current home office routers will do electrical length and throughput testing while you yank on the crimp.

There are thousands of miles of my cables and fiber splices passing these bits in this message right now. (My ISP is a former employer)

Your boss is a fool but don't think that is something new in the business.
