Good place to buy Cat5(e?) and Cat3 cable?

Xrunner · Aug 31, 2004

Looking for a good place to buy Cat5(e?) (RJ-45) and Cat3 (RJ11) cable. So far the best I've found is Tigerdirect for the Cat 5 and my local Home Depot for the Cat 3. I'm going to need something like 300ft of each, probably less Cat 3. Any other good places out there?

Can't you just purchase 600' of Cat5e and use it for both?

Yes, if I got a good deal on the Cat5e. Home Depots price is something like 4 cents a foot for Cat 3.

Depending on the specific lengths you need, you can buy cheap cat5 from NWCA; for example 25' for $1.19 As a bonus they already have the terminals (I never was able to get competent enough to have confidence in the terminals I attached myself). I've ordered from them many times without issue.

This is the very best deal I've found. 1000' cat5e, 100 connectors, crimper, and tester for $43.00.

Here's 300' with connectors and crimper for $25.00.

I bought the 1000' kit a while back. The cable and connectors were of good quality.
