Where to get cat5e UTP solid copper cables?

I am trying to find cat5e solid (not stranded) copper patch cords in North America. All I can find is the stranded kind. I can find bulk cable that is solid copper, but I have no need for 500 ft or 1000 ft, and don't want to crimp and attach plugs.

The only place I've seen solid copper cat5e is eBay in the UK.

Does anyone know if it's available in North America? (I'm in Canada).
 
I don't think that you will find them, as they are not to spec. Spec calls for in-wall to be solid, patch cables to be stranded.
