HOT! Inexpensive CAT-5 Network Cables

Got an email from Gruber today, they're clearing out some inventory on CAT-5 network cables for insane prices. I've ordered these cables from them before (the last time this deal came around on AT) and they're top quality. I'm not sure if there's a minimum order this time, but $50 was the minimum last time. Gruber is a huge company, with lots of large business clients, so if you haven't heard of them, don't worry, they're legit! I've had only good experiences every time I've ordered with them. Shipping is not included in the prices, but last time I ordered, the cables were shipped via FedEx Ground and I was charged the exact FedEx rate.

Price list and ordering information:
Gruber Network Cable Sale

The link given to me in the email with pricing information is dog slow, so I grabbed a copy of the web page and uploaded it to a mirror. As a result, the quantities listed haven't been updated since I captured the page (11:00AM EST).
 
I got in on a deal like this a few months ago... If you think you can turn around & sell them on eBay for 100% markup, guess again--'cause I've still got a box of 'em at home.🙁
 
This is a much better deal then just buying them in the store. To save money I usually just buy a spool of cable and put the ends on myself. Thats probably what this company does.

That'll teach you to do some research before you buy.

I've got a big box of 6 foot long USB cables... althought I didn't pay for them... I got them for free... I saw dollar signs and thought I would sell them on eBay as well.

Oh well. Anybody want to buy a USB cable for real cheap? : )
 
I buy my cables at SVC when I have an order to place there. Plenty cheap enough and you can buy only one or two if you want.

Actually a 300 Mbit and a 155 Mbit connection at UMass, but our ISP (Verio) is having MAJOR issues with their NY router that the University is connected through, causing slow speeds over any connection (except Internet2.edu connections). In light of this, I've updated the mirror to a non-affected site -- should be much faster now.

UPDATE: Fast mirror is back up.
