Recommendations? - Cable and networking equipment.

Hi,
I need to get some cat5e/6 cable (non cca preferably) for running down an external wall on the outside. Before I go to the usual (amazon), anyone know any good places to get this? Likely need a large spool as I might be running some in my fathers house also. Plus need a crimper and tester.

If not, I'll go with amazon/ebay.

Cheers.

Chris.

freetv.ie ....... great service and should have all you require.

I would specifically look for cat5e that is suited for outdoor use ...... this cable is different and dearer than standard ethernet cable.

As cat5e is 1Gb/s capable I doubt cat6 would be much of an advantage, except it might be more robust.

Fairly cheap on there! Have you got cable off them before?

Seem to mostly be CCA cables.

I would be inclined to check with them .... found them very responsive.

They might not be able to provide what you need, but worth checking IMO.
