I need a couple of ethernet patch cables for a wired network setup, and I was wondering what the best place to purchase them online would be. I need one to be 75 or 100 feet and the other needs to be 50. I'd rather not buy crimpers and jacks, so I was going to just buy premade ones. I saw a 75 foot on amazon being sold through tiger direct for $19, but I'd rather not deal with tiger direct. Is there any main website people use, or is this pretty much something you just look around for?

Thanks

Penoir, cablewholesale.com has good snagless cables - a little more expensive than cablesforless but the molded snagless part is IMO a lot better. I'm really fussy about that, bad snagless cables still snag and you can't work the release clip.

acortech.com and techsunny.com have free shipping on their cables, which makes them much cheaper for just a cable or two. The one I bought from acortech has the kind of snagless boot I don't particularly like, but otherwise is a good cable and the total price was right.

Newegg used to be the best place to get cables, but then they raised all their prices plus started charging shipping.

are the cables from these sites fine for patching between a wall jack and a pc nic card? also for this use do i need the snagless cables--doesn't sound like it. there are wide divergences in pricing across the net. if you guys have had good experience with these companies i'll go with one of them based on shipped price. i'll need about 10 patch cables, pretty short ones at that.

thanks!!
