Good quality network cable

[Zammo]

Hi all

 

Looking to do some re-wiring in the server room and therefore purchase some new CAT6 patch cables in various lengths

 

Can anyone recommend a particularly good place to get quality cable from? The last batch I got from amazon was not well made, probably okay for workstations but not at the core of our network.

 

Thanks

We just buy them premade from Insight, sort low to high, pick the cheapest cable of the length/colour we want.

Yeh same here, Amazon is full of unknown rubbish, order from a large reputable supplier, BT Business Direct, Misco, Millgate, etc and you should have no probs - I've ordered many hundreds from these companies over the years. Edited July 14, 2016 by elsiegee40

Comms express are good. I'm also pleasantly suprised at how good toolstation's network cables are if you're in a hurry!

Have you seen PatchSee cables, we've been using them for 4+ years with no problems??

 

They are awesome if you have cabs full of cables and need to trace them from patch to switch, no need for the special torch, you can use anything with a light i.e. phone :-) . They have the length printed on ends and you can buy removable colour clips.

Or recently I've had some decent quality Cat6a cables from Kenable - cheap too.

If it says CCA in the description run a mile. I wouldn't buy any category of ethernet from Amazon or Ebay, its cheap for a reason.

Nothing out of the ordinary, we bought Fiberstore CAT6 patch cables and they worked immediately and flawlessly. They can be customized in various lengths at the lowest price I have ever found on the web.

Excel. We use it here and if you look on eBay you can get 300m lengths for around £50.
