How fast of a turn around does Meritline have on from when you place an order to when you actually recieve you items? $15.75 seems like a good price for 100 ft Cat5.

Usually you'll get a confirmation email in a few hours and they'll begin to process your order the next day
you have an option of free ground shipping or you can pay for the type of delivery you want

Cat 5 can onyl go 100 yards ...sry no 500 ft

[Gester]

Err no. It goes 100M. Which is about 300 feet.

they said to buy 500 feet and make your own, my guess was they meant for him to cut it into the size he wants.

I found this place that has 100 Ft Cat 5 for $12.99.

100M is about 300 feet, but 100yards is dead on 300 feet.
1 yard = 3 feet
