Ethernet Cable - price and type?

[Dolby]

I need 20m of ethernet cable to handle gigabit link

Is this the correct cable (Cat5e)?
Price good too?

EDIT : I actually don't need it for outside, but that seems to be the only one in that size. In fact, thinner may be better as I need to squash it through an existing drilled hole in the wall ...

Cat5e is fine. It's the "standard" cable used.
R100exVAT means you pay R5.70/m including VAT, which isn't too bad.

Thanks froot!

Otherwise just pop into matrix, they sell 20m cables (I even bought a 25m) for about R60

I just bought a 100m box of cat 5e, 100 connectors and the crimping tool. Best option for home.

Just make sure that you are getting a pure copper cable and not a copper clad aluminium cable (CCA). Aluminium does not conduct as well as copper and is more easily damaged. The Cat5e CCA cable is usually half the price of the copper only type.

CCA cable is now widely available ...
