Bulk CAT5e or CAT6 cable - where to buy locally? - leilanidude - 04-06-2018
Need to run a couple cables and refuse to spend $75 for each pre-made 75 foot cable. I could order from Amazon, but would like this sooner rather than later, especially with the way Amazon has been delaying shipping even Prime orders to Hawaii.

Last I checked, HD Supply in Hilo has 1000ft boxes for $110.

Thanks. I'll give them a call.

I know you posted that you didn't want to use Amazon.
I bought one of these and it is very well made,took 8 days to arrive.

You might try Monoprice.com. I've always found them to be among the lowest priced, highest quality suppliers of pretty much every sort of cable. They can ship USPS, and deliver to PO Boxes.

Bought a 500 foot spool Saturday at Home Depot. They didn't show them as in stock - but had 4 of them. Was $79. Didn't want to wait another week+ to order from on-line.
Side note - IDEAL makes the coolest tool for crimping the ends! It is a called a pass-thru and makes it so much easier to do. I might just throw away the old style crimp tool...

consider filling the connector with rtv before inserting the wires and crimping ...works wonders in preventing corrosion

I bought 500 ft of cat 6 from Amazon. I made 5 45 foot cables. Should be >250 feet remaining. Here's the link to what I bought. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0193V7YNW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Make an offer if you could use it. We live in Hawaiian Beaches.
