    cheapest place for external grade cat5e?

    going to be needing to network up my house and it seems like the cabling is having to go outside to get to the upstairs rooms from where my switch/patch panel is going to be located.

    wheres the cheapest for external grade, i'm likely to need at least 1 roll of 305m and possibly a little more but likely not to be another roll, say something like 50m or 100m as well?

    See thge thread Ikonia started about external cabling. External grade cable isn't cheap - a 305 metre roll will be around £80 - but it is mechanically much stronger than interior grade, UV resistant and abrasion resistant.

    yeah, i think due to me underestimating how much it actually costed, using regular cat5e is the way i'm going forward.
