Hey All,

Does anybody know where I can get a 100ft + Ethernet Cable? I've been surfing around and the longest I've found is 50ft. Thanks!

newegg.com search for 100 ft cat 5...comes in about 7 different colors!

Try HERE , I think this might be what you are looking for. I have bought from them before with good results.

good site, but newegg.com is about 7 bucks cheaper

David14259 · 12-01-2002, 10:34 PM

Thanks scott_d!

I looked around newegg but I couldn't find any long ones.... I think when I tried searching I did '100ft' instead of '100 ft'.

Thanks Again!

Your right Scott. I didnt know newegg sold cables. New Egg is half the price. Looks like the same cable also.

Hehe, here I buy the cable by meters...

www.blackbox.com is also a good place. You can order custom lengths.

Try Home Depot. They sell it off of a roll. You can get whatever length you want. It's very inexpensive too.

I love newegg, but I have heard bad things about their cat 5 cable and heads. I would look at prices from retail stores like radio shack or compusa. I'd personaly reccomend a small electronics store like Jabore, in Pawtucket Rhode Island, but thats probably out of the way

David14259 · 12-02-2002, 03:32 PM

Home Depot eh? I'll swing by this weekend!

And yes, Andrewxcav, since I live just South of Chicago, Rhode Island is a little bit out of the way.

Thanks Everybody for the help!

You can get a custimizewd lenght and Home depot and compusa up to 250ft I think

CompUSA sells 100 foot cables, but they are 50 bucks.
