7' Rosewill RCW-571 Cat 6 Ethernet Cable (white) $0.80 + Free Shipping (expired)

Cables are still available

thx OP. in for 5. could never have enough cables

fyi the cable end hood protector for the jack clip is the better full cover kind.

in 4 2. Total $1.69.

Grabbed 2, thanks.

in 4 4.

cat 6 w/ covers and 7 feet long shipped free for 80 cents. Quite a deal.

Feel bad using 20% off coupon on a dollar item...Gotta give the 1st homeless guy I see tomorrow a quarter

Ordered 5 along with the FAR kaspersky. I feel bad making newegg ship me things at a loss so I try to combine orders

BTW if you were to make this yourself, it would cost about 8c per foot + termination + time. So 56c + terminals + boots + time = way more than 80cents for a 7' cable.

Great deal!

Another alternative is a 1ft Rosewill Cat 6 Network Cable (Gray) [newegg.com] for $0.80 + Free Shipping (for cable management)

I have my own crimpers and some end caps, i've made my own cat5e before, but, have not seen cat6. Is it physically the same as 5e?
Would like to get a couple and make them into 3 foot pieces.
Thanks!

Yes. Cat6 is just wound tighter (or more twists). The pinouts on the terminals are no different.

In short cat6 can get 1Gbit up to 300ft while cat5e I think can only do 100Mbit "guaranteed" to that length. Cat6 is also slightly less susceptible to EMI.

Edit: Found it, cat5e = 1Gbit up to 300ft, cat6 10Gbit up to 100ft.

Long and short of it, there is absolutely no difference between a cat5e 7' cable and a cat6 7' cable unless you are directly under powerlines or you live in the year 2020 and have 10Gbit SOHO equipment. 80c for this cable is still a great deal either way.

Slick Thanks OP
