need to buy pre-made cat5e patch - need advice

Cyberguys.com has very inexpensive cables. I don't know if they are lacking anything in quality but the ones I've used have been fine. I'd be interested to hear from others if they don't think they are up to snuff.

Unfortunately they don't have 4ft. In quantity 3ft are $1.18/ea and 7ft are $1.72/ea. Cat 5e, molded low-profile boots and gold contacts manufactured by ZIOtek.

Yeah, I've always been happy with the Cyberguys cables (and pricing and customer service). If they don't have the length you want, and you want 500 of them, I'd bet you can talk them into a buy of exactly what you want.

Ditto on Cyberguys. I've bought cables from them for years. Never had a problem.

It's worth having an inventory of cables in all lengths down to 1 ft (which Cyberguys didn't have the last time I looked.)

I did a really neat rack of gear where patch panels were next to high-density switches and 1ft cables were just the ticket.

Milestek is fine. Generally good stuff reasonably priced. I've also had good results with Cyberguys. And if you go down to CrapUSA and write down the part number and plug it into Froogle you're going to be amazed at the price difference.

I've had way too many times where my aging fingers couldn't easily release a booted cable when the boot had hardened over time. Or was in a hard to reach place. Or tucked in with 20 other closely spaced cables. Or... Or even when new. I now only get what I think of as snagless where there is a flexible rubber "sidewall" on both sides of the clip.

They have some CAT6 cables in a 7-inch length.

Well..sounds like from all the responses that yall like Cyberguys...I think I will give them a try.

Thanks alot gentlemen/ladies
