I've not dealt with QVS in years; but, they always had good prices and service:

I prefer monoprice.com when I buy pre-fab cables - They also sell bulk cable and ends too. I'm to the point where I never build my own patch cables anymore. The only thing bulk cable gets used for is to run through walls to the patch panels, which I don't have to do anyway.

Here's where I usually buy my bulk cable making components:
http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&categoryId=253020
Bulk 5E is 0.16/ft once you ctep up to 1000 foot quantitity.

Here's where I usually by my preassembled network cables:

They have 1000 ft boxes for $70, but only 3 colors are listed online. But they have other colors in 250 ft boxes, and they might be able to get 1000 ft boxes if you call.

I bought some at Home Depot today, $0.18 per foot, but it was only available in light grey.

Anybody have experience with LanShack?

They have a good selection, colors & all, and it's easy to select whether or not I'm buying plenum-grade (whether or not it can be run in airspaces and above false ceilings and pass inspection).

(edit) Lessing I hope you don't think I was trying to redirect your post -- the lanshack.com place looks like a place you might want to check out also, but I haven't used them. That's more what I meant. Somedays I just can't write. Oh well.

Cat5E Cable guy on Ebay...quick shipping and very good prices.

I've used him four times on different projects with no issues!

I usually just call up Graybar and have them ship me however much of whatever I need. I generally get good prices from them.
