I am setting up a network and need a 100 ft piece of cable to go from my

but works fine.
If you have a local Deals store, check them out for possibilities. Some of
the stuff they carry (and they carry a bit of everything) isn't 'that'
great but the CAT-5 cables I've bought from them have been great, and
inexpensive. A second possibility might be to either buy a female/female
coupler like the ones for extending phonelines (Futureshop had them for
$7.95) or getting two wallplates and wiring them together (not pretty but
very much on the cheap.)

MPT Computers on Midland south of Sheppard has the connectors for 3
bucks plus really inexpensive cable. Check out their site at
mptcomputers dot com
I've been using them for years, good guys although not Mac people.
