I was going to get a 1000ft spool of cable, ends, and boots from Newegg, but they are OOS. I need those things, plus parts to neatly run the cable over ceiling tile, and through a ceiling tile, down a wall. I would cut a hole in the wall, but its a temporary solution. I wanted to do raised flooring, but that was too much $$$, so it got turned down. I basically need to run 15 30' cables from the network room out to the computer room, and make it look presentable.

mwave has some very inexpensive cabling. Here is a link to the mwave branded stuff. The 50ft cables were like $12USD or so.

Any more ideas? I got the cables at a local shop last night, but I need ideas for how to run the cable from the ceiling, without using a raceway.

The local home depot has 1000ft cat5e for $49.00. The RJ-45 connectors are a little more expensive at $9.99 for a 25 pack.

Question...with wireless so cheap now-a-days.. how come u don't go wireless?

Its a business, and 90% of what I am running to are Oracle or SQL servers. They would kill the bandwith, and the availability would be shot.
