Flat cat5e suppliers?

Zirax · 03-02-2009, 14:58

Does anyone have any idea of where to get some flat cat5e on a reel from? Ideally I need 35-40m to do a long run in the house.

I have tried the following places, some of these only do a 30m length (not enough)

scan
dabs
ebuyer
comms-express
maplin
Novatech
ebay

Any other places I could look?

I am considering just using powerline instead as this will form the network from the router to my main gigabit switch. Hence the backbone would be gigabit between main machines and the servers, with 200mb (max) available for the net. It would be a lot cheaper to just use flat cat5e though
