Ethernet Cable

What ethernet cable is best for the BT Home Hub 2.0?.

One which fits! Is there any difference? I suppose if the cable is approaching 100 metres in length quality may make a slight difference.

Cat5e with an RJ45 at both ends - straight through not crossover.

However, dependent on you nationality or country of residence you may have to purchase an appropriate colour: Scotland Blue, Ireland - Green, France* - White &c.

One of these will probably do the trick (although you might not need it as long):

I've just ordered two of them, the reviews were quite good!

£2.25 for a 20m - around 10p/m so works out at £30 for a 305m drum. That is cheap, currently a full drum is over £60 without fixing connectors &c

£3.34 for 20m - don't forget the postage.............so about £51 for a 305m drum.

No, 20m is £2.25 + 0.99 = £3.24 and if the supplier was to sell a 300M cable it could be ££2.25 *15 + 0.99 = £34.74 or even less as there would only be one pair of connectors not 15 pairs.

99p postage for a whole reel? Wow - where's that?

I did say IF ...

The point about my first comment was that the material cost was very low which you extrapolated incorrectly. I was showing what it would be if the supplier did supply longer lengths based on his charging structure.

I reckon we're both extrapolating incorrectly given that the supplier doesn't supply whole reels anyway

I accept my initial maths were 10p per 20m out though - rushing to get my wife off to work to keep me in the manner to which I've become accustomed...........
