Thanks to all who suggested MonoPrice.com. It took me most of a day,
between measuring, choosing colors, and thinking; but, I did raise an
order for a complete upgrade of my internal wired GBit LAN to CAT6.
If memory serves, the single line from my FIOS ONT to my wall jack is
commercial CAT5E. My wired internal GBit LAN will be fully done.
I will assume(?) that my NICS, switches, NAS, and router will smile
and, perhaps, take some advantage from their new hoses!
And, it only took me ~5yrs!!! LOL!
{because I forgot this project back when I bought my GBit switches!!}
Happy 4th of July!

Look no further than Monoprice. I've not used their patch cables,
but I've
been exceedingly happy with everything else I've purchased there.

Speaking of cables; I need to buy some new Enet CAT5E/CAT6 patch
cables.
I have wired LAN; GBit over copper, and, external. Not done the
internal
home wiring yet!
I like Belden. Willing to pay for quality. Long-term replacement buy!
{found that my cable stash is all OLD CAT5 stuff!}
Seeking links to search. Know Newegg and Amazon.
Do not care for cheesy, 'made in China' cables.
Thanks,
Duncan

I wish I could say that never happened to me. :) I think most
everyone goes through the act of getting ripped off for cables. Most
of us here, I think, know better. But the unwashed masses?

I know what you're talking about. When I bought my HDTV a couple of
years ago, I bought a cable at Best Buy and was appalled at the cost
of the cables. Of course they had Monster and Monster wannabe
cables. Because I didn't want to wait, I paid $33.00 for a 6 foot
HDMI cable. And that was the cheapest one, the Best Buy house
brand.

Well, who pays those prices (not looking for an answer). Lots of
ways to lower the price of HDMI is my point.

Actually, compared to retail prices at Radio Shack and Best Buy
for
passive HDMI cables, $50 is not that expensive.
