    Dont want to drive into Dublin city centre , PC World are looking for 44 euros which is just riptastic and I refuse to pay that much.

    Just need a metre or two cable length, anywhere in Dublin southside or Wicklow would do fine.

    Thanks!

    radionics.ie are also a good source of cable. Your best bet would just be to buy a spool, ethernet connecters and a crimping tool and make your own cables to length

    www.radionics.ie

    EDIT: actually, just read you only need a meter or 2. In that case try maplins. They have a good range of cables in there and their CAT 6 range is not that expensive. I bought from them when I was setting up my own home gigabit network
