Where's the best site for CAT5 and network supplies?

I need to get some more CAT5 (1000 feet) and some type 110 blades. Where is everyone going for their stuff? Thanks

If you look at THIS thread it looks like Home Depot is a very good place to start.

Home Depot is very good... last week picked up some CAT5e, but forgot to get some normal cheap cat5 for phone stuff... don't feel like getting there... I like ordering online... thanks

Btw, I was always wondering what is the difference between cat5 and cat5e?

CAT5e is a new spec that is rated for 350MHz (If I remember correctly). CAT5 is only rated for 100MHz. 5e is the recommended grade for gigabit ethernet until something better comes along. It's sorta useless for 100Mb, but some people like it.

Interesting... on my Cat5e cable box it says it's rated up to 155Mb only.
