Are there any good deals for long (50+ ft) ethernet cables?

Monoprice looks a lot cheaper than the other link Murc posted (and it ships faster).

From my experience, Monoprice is great to deal with. You get your stuff really quick, and it's way cheaper than the price in stores.

Do you need it to connect a game console to the net and do you have a wi-fi network at all?

Reason I ask is I was going to need a 50ft cable to wire my PS2. I have a wi'fi network and instead of trying to hide the cable I bought one of those Linksys wireless game adapters (it says for Xbox and PS2 on the box) and that did the job. Took me a little to get it set-up through WEP but once I got that configured it worked perfectly.

If I remember correctly I got the adapter off ebay for around $25.

just buy a roll and make your own cable

easy-peasy

1000ft Cat5-E FTW

I prefer Cat6, since it only costs a bit more and it's newer.

What's the diff between cat5 & cat6?

Does mono sell cross-over? Is it in the description?

Speed

CAT5e 350Mhz
CAT6 550mhz

But officially Cat6 doesn't exist. They're no official specs for it so right now its more marketing then anything.

I should add that you won't notice a difference.
