Cat5 Cable

[Insane_Jesus]

Where is the best place for me to buy a box of cat5 utp cable and rj45 connectors?

Also, Is there anywhere I can buy cheap already made up cables in bulk?

Maplin's pretty good, if all you want to do is pop down the high street

Have fun

made up cables, you can get from ebay pretty easily

Most computer fairs, there'll be a stall there where they'll make them up for you and test them on the spot.

If you have a wholesale electrical retailer nearby jump in there and ask them. i got my cable rj45s and tester for around 100 quid ish

when you say in bulk how many ya after? I'm not a businessman just an opportunist, getting them cheap myself so will let them go for reasonable amount

I should have ready mades coming in this week.
got connectors and cable on order. what are your requirements?


ready mades coming in this week are as follows.

0.5m Patch Leads : 130(50p each) (10+ 40p each)
1.0m Patch Leads : 30 (70p each) (10+ 50p each)

230 cables in total, all various colours blacks, whites, blues greens etc.
let me know if you're interested. and I'll let you know when they're in.
obviously we will have to work out postage and packing arrangements. but you can collect if you are anywhere near north staffs

more sizes coming soon

also got some snap and seal connectors for those who do satellite cables etc. 40p each. (in stock)

if enough people are interested I might start up properly. at the moment I only make a few up for friends, and a local shop(who doesn't have many really)
maybe I'll make it an exclusive deal for this forum.

best place for connectors is hongkong or china.

where you get them at 99p for 100 with boots. and about a fiver postage


anyway, offer now expired.

I was looking to buy a roll of cable and some rj45 connectors in bulk so I could make cables to sell on ebay. Im a poor student in need of cash

theres a lot on ebay already

roll of cable about 14.99 don't know about postage costs (think its 304 metre cable)
pack of 100 connectors and boots from hongkong 99p plus postage..

cost of rj45 crimper anywhere from 10-30 quid with or without postage depending on where you get it

and a tester don't know how much these are these days, had mine for ages.
