Cat 5 cable (by the metre)

I need about 15 metres of Cat 5 cable to finish wiring some cameras at home. I don't want to buy a box of the stuff. Anywhere I can buy smaller quantities around the Lucan area? Thanks

Not sure about getting a small amount like that but the likes of B&Q sell cable by the meter. Not sure if they do cat 5.
If you are stuck I have a some your more than welcome too.

Cheer Altor - I have some already but reckon that I won't have enough. Any idea how long is a run from say the corner of a four bedroomed house to the opposite diagonal corner? I have five such runs and then a bit more to do. Let me see how I am doing; and if in trouble I might take you up on your kind offer. This is a job over a couple of weekends so it might be a week or three.

For what you will pay by the meter in DiY shops you would get a box of it anyway.:)

Always good to have some slack also. You can buy pre-made leads, more expensive tho.
If you do run into trouble I am not far from you.
