The snaky boy is more than $3 these days, at least if you get a long one.
Buy them in spools.
Also for just cheap cat5, it might not actually faster than modern WiFi.
cat5 beats wifi in terms of wall penetration though, assuming you penetrated that wall with a drill and then pulled the cat5 through
Say "penetrate" again, I'm almost finished.
Come on, dont blow just couple comments out of proportion. Why put so much load on some common terminology.
🥵😅😩😫😪😮💨🤤
It'll have higher latency if that matters.
Cat 6 is what, $0.15 a foot? Plus maybe another $0.50 for the connectors and boots? That’s a 16 foot snake for $3.00.
I think last time I bought one it was a 50 foot one for something like $15-$20.
People are mentioning buying from a spool but I am thinking more going to my local computer store,so there’s a some markup.
I bought a 1000 foot spool a few years back when wiring my house and have used it for helping out friends and family ever since. I’m not sure how much I have left, but I’ll probably pick up another whenever I do.
