Thats a good find, cheers Simon, their cable and converter prices are very good compared to the likes of Novatech and Ebuyer.

Dramatically cheaper on some bits - e.g. a 30m CAT cable for £9.99, the local comp shop wanted £25 for the same thing.

I just make my own

Far cheaper to buy a 300m box of cable and a pack of plugs and a tool off of ebay. But then I had quite a bit of cable to run at home so worked out far cheaper, also means I have a fair bit left to do the odd little bits that you always end up needing.

Sounds like an expensive habit? You tried professional help?

Where would one find 300m cat 5 cable and assorted bits and bobs you'd need to wire up a house?

Cat 5e http://www.toolstation.com/messages....2918&mainWin=1

Other parts:
RJ45 Plugs: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_t...All-Categories

Crimper: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/?_nkw=r...lugs&_osacat=0

But plenty of other places on the net that do the stuff.
