5m Cat 5 Network Cable

Five metres crosses a room properly — around the door frame, behind the sofa, up to a television on the far wall — instead of stretching taut across the middle of it.

This is the length most people should buy first. Three metres runs out sooner than anyone expects once the cable has to follow the wall rather than cut the corner, and the extra two metres cost fifty cents. Moulded RJ45 plugs at both ends. A hundred in stock.
