Has anyone bought any cables from them? THe 50' cat5e cables are mad cheap, I"m wondering if theyre good quality. Or do you think I should just buy belkin cat5e cables.

also check out Provantage check out their belkin cat5e cables

This looks like a good deal, but keep an eye out at MicroCenter (microcenter.com and microcenterorder.com). I think they have even cheaper wires when they are in sale.

I've bought some stuff from Cyberguys before, but not Cat5 cables. The stuff they have is pretty cheap and it's pretty cool. Shipping is a little bit expensive though.

I have bought a ton of small hardware and cable stuff (including Cat5 in various lengths) from Cyberguys and have always been pleased with both products and service. Shipping is reasonable, I think.

Here's a Hot Deal...

Go to home depot/lowes buy a 1000ft(softline) spool of Cat5e for 49.99 and a crimper for 20.00 and you'll never, EVER need to buy it again!

Ends can be had for about .20 a peice too

I always get my cables from KD Computers here. Haven't had a problem after about 5 orders and shipping is superfast (though it's from Wisconsin to Chicago).

Fry's has 1000 ft. of Cat5 on sale for $39.99 routinely (if you are into crimping your own).

<< Check out these guys for cables -- had very good dealings with them.

PC Cables

I wholeheartedly agree with Ring, PC Cables is a good place to deal with--for all cabling needs. But, if you do order from them, make sure to get a login ID first--as it gives you even lower prices when you login. They tell you this after you make your first order--but you can do it the other way around to save some $.

Also, if you want to crimp your own cat5 cables, you can get a crimper +100 ends for $10 from them.

<< what's the difference between CAT 5 and CAT 5e (enhance) cable? >>

cat5e is for gigabit ethernet
