Title: Cat5e
Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, January 4, 2013, 08:38:51
I'm in need of 20m or so of cable, but buying online appears to be a bit of a minefield because a lot of sellers are passing off cheap chinese CCA as full spec Cat5e.

Can anyone recommend a reputable seller that isn't going to cost me a fortune?

You need the bare cable? I have boxes of the stuff.

Either ready made or bare cable, I don't mind having to do some crimping myself.

I get all my cabling from Adept Networks in Cheney Manor. Prices are pretty much the same as buying online, plus you know you not going to get screwed over and it's handy for stuff you need urgently.
