40-50 foot CAT5 cable?

Anyone know where I can buy a 40-50 foot CAT5 networking cable? I know the easier way to hook this laptop up would be with a wireless card...but its my dad corporate laptop and his company won't let him install a wireless card on the machine. Also my dad doesn't want to work in my room near the router where a shorter CAT5 cable would work...therefore I need a 40-50 foot one to connect him to the router from his office.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
 
I would assume any local store should have them, though it will be cheaper to buy it online likely.
 
Um...buy a 500-foot roll of CAT5e and a bag of RJ45s and a crimp tool for about $50 total and build all the cables you need! 🙂
 
yeah I know this but some of us don't have a use for 500 ft of cable. I sure don't anyways. I only needed 100 feet for one run and thats it. it was 11 bucks and I don't have to store the cable that is just hanging around and I did 0 work seemed like a good deal to me.
