Ethernet Cable

YearZero

Hey, I'm looking to buy about 20m of Ethernet cable somewhere in Limerick. Anyone know where I could get a good deal?

Electrical wholesalers should have Cat6 on a roll. You just need to crimp the connectors on or connect to RJ45 sockets if for extension purposes.

Techpart out in the Eastlink Business Park. They have a website.

Believe it or not, Dealz had a 20m CAT6 Belkin cable for sale last week for €1.49! Both in their Limerick and Shannon stores, might be worth a look, i purchased several of their 2m Belkin CAT6 cables and they work fine.

Sure it wasnt cat5 cables instead of CAT6 big difference? I have removed tons of Belkin networking cables as they are problematic and dont even get me started on their wireless routers.

100% sure, I'm a network engineer. Yeah usually wouldn't go near netgear stuff, but for that price I couldn't resist!

There isn't any left in dealz. They were 10m cat6 straight through and 10mb cat5e crossover cables. I got the last of them :P

Keddingtons beside Urlan on Clare Street has network supplies for cheap too.

+1 for Techpart. We use them for network hardware and cables, very good pricing.

I picked up 2 of those 10m cat 6 cables in Dealz before. Belkin branded too! Not recently though.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up getting a powerline adapter kit (Belkin!) but I do appreciate the help.

You're always better off getting real cable instead of the powerline stuff. The powerline adapters spew RF interference all over the spectrum, as power cables are pretty efficient radiators of higher frequency signals. The powerlink will also screw up the wifi in the area as it raises the noise floor and reduces the effective signal strength available to wifi devices.

And yes I am a network engineer..

I havent had any problems with either the signal strength in the home or the speed of the broadband and I have the powerline adapters/wifi extender
