    Hi,

    I'm looking to buy some Cat5e/Cat6 cabling in various lengths and colours (approx 150 cables).

    Can anybody recommend a supplier?

    Regards,
    Jonathan.

    Any computer shop will have some, Peats or Maplin should be fine.

    Yes, but I don't want to pay €15 for each one! (should be able to get a 1m cable for <€3). Plus they probably won't have the range in stock that I require.

    Any online resellers that people are happy with?

    Just buy it per meter in Maplin. Its less than €1 a meter (bout 80c i think) Get the connections and crimper tool and make em' yourself!

    I tried that before - it's a nightmare! I'd rather buy them pre-made to be honest (more reliable that way too).

    I found one place in the UK that seems decent enough...

    A lot of boardsies seem to have used this guy, prices seem fairly decent, not sure how he'd be fixed to do 150 cables but worth checking with him.
