Network cable, where to buy

[Acid0]

Hi there,

Does anybody know where to source the best priced Cat 6 cable.
I am looking for about 300m cable

I need to redo the house and the townhouse on my property. so I guess I will have to get the outdoor version for the townhouse and just normal inside the house

What would be the best to put underground, will a normal conduit pipe work?

I get a lot of stuff lately from scoop.co.za.

I get a lot of stuff lately from scoop.co.za.

Their prices seems reasonable should maybe just use them

+1 for Scoop

Ask for the Trade discount

Just do some research first though. I think Cat 6 gets weaker over long distances. (ie 100m +)

Speak to one of the sales reps - cat5e outdoor might be the one you want.

Perhaps something like this with some kind of signal booster every so often: https://scoop.co.za/scoop-100m-roll-cat5e-outdoor-ftp-cca-cable.html

Came to suggest Scoop (just picked up 500m cat5e from them) but see that as usual i'm late to the party

In all the years getting cable from them never had any issues (Light Edge on the other hand used to sell some real crap cable!!)
