    Where to get Cat5e/6 structured cabling + ancilleries?

    Can anyone recommend where I can get some Cat5e/ 6 for the job of networking my house?

    Looking for a 305m box, plus modules and a whole lot of other gubbins to make the job neat. Probably a 10" data cabinet by the time I am through with this too.....

    I've also got to do 2 runs of cable outdoors, so can I use just normal cable, or look for some armoured stuff too (2 runs at about 7 metres each).

    As long as you go with respected sellers, Amazon / Ebay is normally where the best prices are. Just make sure you don't buy cheap tat - it's normally quite obvious.

    Otherwise I use http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/

    You need external CAT cable for outdoors, otherwise it breaks down quite quickly (Sunlight makes quick work of it). It's not much more expensive, but don't try to cut corners with it.
