Please log in for more thread options O.K. So my customer found 1100 feet pull boxes of PVC and Plenum cable from Black Box for $80 and $180 per box with free shipping!!! Yes it's 350 Mhz, yes it is CMR/CMP rated. Yes it comes in colors. Sounds too good to be true, but I ordered 4.4 K for me and 4.4 K for him. Hope the hook doesn't hurt too much.

It's been a while since I had to order cable at non project-specific prices, but isn't it still a decent price? It's a weird length, I agree, but $180/1100 feet could still be used for new/old stock cable circa 2003-ish. This does not mean it's a bad cable. -- Best Regards, Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD http://www.cabling-design.com/ Home Cabling Guide, Cabling Forum, color codes, pinouts and other useful resources for premises cabling users and pros -- +----------------------------------------------------------+ | http://forums.cabling-design.com/ | | *** a better way to USENET *** | | no-spam Web and RSS interface to your favorite newsgroup | | comp.dcom.cabling - 2875 messages and counting! | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

I sold 11,000 feet of 350Mhz cable in 2 jobs for September deivery and the current cable prices ranged from $90-130/M' for PVC and +$200 (203-220) for Plenum. To get it for $72/M' with free shipping is pretty good. I just hope it works Carl | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

> >a) How come you got free shupping? They wanted $21 ground from me... I have no clue. When my customer called me, I asked him about shipping charges and he said they were free. He was originally going to buy 4 boxes of PVC, so I added 4 boxes to his for 8. Here's the best part. I whined about losing my cable profit, so he sold me the 8 boxes at cost and I get to sell them back to him at a 1.3 mark. What a country! Thanks Jim. Carl | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
