I need about a 100' long cat-5e cable

[Saint Nick]

Will I be able to find something like that anywhere tomorrow, with it being black friday? Does a product like that even exist? Or am I going to have to make my own?

I'm only going to be here a few days, but I never get this much of a chance to play online so I want to play a LOT, especially since its Thanksgiving break for us college kids.

Thanks

Go to home depot and get a 1000' box and a few ends to crimp on.

Thats not a bad idea either... I could make a few extra cables and maybe find a good use for them. How much do you think that would run?

I would say monoprice.com but I cant since you need it on such a short notice

Since you need it tomorrow and will be forced to buy retail, be prepared to get a good look at the floor as you bend over and grab your ankles--that cable is not going to be very cheap.

Home Depot has it on rolls I think. Can buy as much as you need.

What's the maximum run before you need a repeater?

Whereabouts are you, still in NE? My buddy has two boxes of Cat5, and probably wouldn't mind parting with 100' if you don't mind coming down here to get it.

I live in Omaha, but am in Lincoln right now with my parents. Shit, if its free or cheap, I might just come and get it. You're in Plattsmouth, right?

Get the 1000' box, crimper, and 50 ends for ~$100. Trust me, it is worth it in the long run.

Ayup, maybe five minutes off 75. Odds are that he'll just give it away, but I don't think he has any ends. We're both working tomorrow, so it'd have to be after 5:30.
