I need to do about a 100 ft run of Plenum rated Cat5e cable but the only thing I can find is 1000ft bulk rolls. Anyone know where I can get some cut to length or shorter runs of this stuff? Or does anyone have a bulk of it that I could buy 100ft from? ---

You can make your own length. Its pretty easy. I kbow Home Depot has it in bulk but i dont know if they carry that rating. They may assuming its a construction supply. You just need 2 ends and a crimp tool which they also have. ---

You just need 2 ends and a crimp tool which they also have. Yeah I don’t care if it’s pre cut with ends or just straight cable. I can borrow the tools from the IT guys at work. I just can’t find this stuff in anything less than 1000’ rolls and certainly will never use that much. ---

^^ That is not Plenum… AND Don’t go to graybar, they are my competition!! Actually go to Graybar, I don’t really want to cut open a reel for you. However if you need a bit, I have some cat6 that i Believe is plenum rated that i can give you for free. I will have to check the jacket when i get into the office tomorrow. ---
