Where do you guys like to buy your jacks, RJ45 plugs, faceplates?

[Joony]

Any store better than this place? Seems like the best one I can find...Quite reasonable prices too

I just went to RadioShack yesterday and compared to the www.cables.cc, I would have saved $4. I purchased the following:
2x Four Jack Keystone Wall Plate
2x RJ45 Keystone Jack 110 Punchdown
2x RJ12 Keystone Jack
2x Keystone F Connector
2x Keystone Blank Plug

Cables.cc: $24 shipped via UPS ground (too long!), $28 via 3-day select (still too long )
Radio Shack B&M: $30

So, for some small stuff that you need NOW, head to your local Radio Shack. If you need bulk and can wait, buy online to save a few bucks

Lowes and Home Depot have prices FAR better than Radio Shack on network wiring stuff.

Went to Home Depot too, had to buy a Low-Voltage box for mounting the wall plate...they were MUCH more expensive than Radio Shack.

Prices have nothing to do with the makeup and shear cost of the product. It is all marketing ploys.

I just got a CDR-RW for $19.99. Think about the technology that goes into these CDRW, Laser beam, Motor, Electronic circuits, jacks etc. Then compare it to the few pieces of plastic with a dub of metal that mamisano got for $30.

A decent on line source.

Even that place was $28 shipped

[JackMDS]

LOL.

Yeah I know it is not fair that you have to keep bumping while every one is hiding their "cheap" hardware source.
