Following on, to run network cable through my house I need two lengths of 14m and one of 28m. Maplin will charge me about £35 for 100m, but I'm assuming I might be able to aquire some cheaper.

Can anyone recommend some trusted sources? If I have to buy a roll and crimp on my own connectors then I can, though having them pre-made to the above lengths would be a nice convenience (and save me £15 on a crimping tool).

Thanks very much,
Ben

recently at work we re-cabled a whole floor with over 200+ ports. we relied on Black Box (www.blackboxonline.co.uk) for the cables, sockets, cabinets and everything else needed to be replaced.

we ended up using Belten UTP cat5e PVC cable for it all. link here on Minitran for a 305m box at £31 ex vat.

so somehow maplins 100m for £35 isnt so promising.
