long ethernet cables

hi i'm looking to buy a 20-30ft+ ethernet cable from my router to my computer. i've been looking at futureshop and ncix but they either have it and it is very expensive, or they don't have it at all (too short).

can someone refer me to some sites that offer them? preferably cheap cables but decent quality. thanks

+1 . You won't find a better deal. A lasting 25ft ethernet cable costs $4. And they are legit.

Well, the problem is if you're only ordering one cable, shipping makes the deal less attractive.

So a 30ft CAT5E cable is $3.30, and shipping is $5.11 for a total of USD 8.41. With the current exchange rate, you're probably looking at a charge on your credit card of right about $9 in Canadian, and you have to wait for it to arrive.

You just need to know how to look on NCIX.

Some items they have available:

25ft

http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=51...e=TRIPP%20LITE
$4.63

http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=52...%20-%20DT%20SB
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=66...%20-%20DT%20SB
$5.01

http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=01...ELKIN%20CABLES
$5.44
Pricematch DirectCanada to $4.54: http://www.shopbot.ca/r.html?catc=2&...odeid=14613405


If you need longer...

50ft

http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=86...%20-%20DT%20SB
$9.01

I think we're done here...
