Is this a good deal on an ethernet cord from Xbox to Router? i need 100ft and its only 6.99, thanks

100 Ft, Cat. 5e Patch Cable, 350 Mhz, Can be used as Cat. 5 With Snag-Free Caps, Blue, Model 10X5-824HD (Blue), OEM

Shipping is a bit much. CallCCT has an 100' 5e for $9, and last I remember, they ship free. Minimum order amount changed to $10 instead of $5 though, so you'd get an additional cheap cable from there to place the order.

It's not bad, but you'd probably be better getting something small like that locally to save on the shipping.

I just get 1000ft of CAT5e/CAT6 for about ~$50 from your local Home Depot, then just add the ends with a crimper.

then you have to buy a crimper and the plastic end pieces which ends up costing more money, especially if he only wants one cable for the xbox to live.

im not that in dire need of a cable

http://callcct.com/ has a 8.75 6 month rating (so i'm assuming they are reliable). The price different isn't much difference, the earlier post said 10 bucks for the cable or the newegg at 12-13 bucks.

25 ft for 4.00
50 ft for 7.00
75 ft for 8.00
100 ft for 9.00


assortment of cables. as long as your xbox isn't very far, you can get a couple of cables and use the others for something else.

so u say just get it from callcct?

 

[rvslp27]

does it really matter where i get it? the most important thing is, is the cable right? im just making sure...

 

[Ionizer86]

It really doesn't matter where the cable is from, just that CallCCT is a tad cheaper, and you can get one more cable while you're at it (to get to the minimum purchase price).

I would have to say that that is a good price. I just paid 14.95 +tax each for two 75 footers. And that is actually pretty good for a local shop.
