    50M with ends on? Are you sure you don't want to use a faceplate (plus its easier to do yourself )

    Is crimping your own not an option?

    I'd look at any places selling 100M rolls and ask them to cut it in half and crimp for you. I doubt it would cost you much more

    Re: Cat5 cable. Where to get 50m

    Never crimped Ethernet cable myself. Is it easy? I would have to buy the ends and the tool. I know Scan sell 50m with ends but out of stock and i need 50m x 3 urgently.

    Mate has a router and wants to take 3 ethernet cables from it to 3 pc's around his place. Wireless is out of the question. Bad reception as big old house!!

    I know there is some on eBay....

    If you are REALLY stuggling I could make you some but please, that would be your last option. I HATE crimping etc after running 1000m of cable my self and then having to make my own patch cables etc. It would be solid though.

    I will get back to you as I may need to buy some. It would also have to be after Monday next week when I can do it and send it. It will be solid, so its a little hard to bend etc but its what is supposed to be used for long runs etc.

    I can't post a link yet but Amazon have got 50m cat6 for £22.

    Search for "cat6 50m" .

    Or cat5 50m for £16.

    Re: Cat5 cable. Where to get 50m

    £16 isn't too bad to be honest. I need to buy some anyway, I buy it by the 1000m anyway so don't worry about that.

    Is this ok:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/HAMA-CABLE-P...3483865&sr=8-4

    Does it matter if it is not 'solid'?

    no, solid is just a bit less expensive and tougher.
