I need 4 cables of 30mt and 4 cables of 25mt, for diy home networking and hdmi output, which type should i get cat5e or cat6? Any ideas where from? I am in metro Melbourne (moorabbin).
Will need wall plates as well to connect devices directly to it. Also need 4 switches in each room to connect multiple devices to the one cable coming from the router. Any budget help/ideas please.

Thanks pjetson,
I need 2 x 30m HDMI for tv plus 6 cat5e/6 cables.
read somewhere that I could use a hdmi/rj45 converter to carry hdmi signal over long distance. something like this http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/aten-hdmi-ext… as not easy to find 30mt hdmi cables.The below eBay results may be of interest (haven't purchased these myself). Hope it helps.
(remember to use the drop-down menu to select appropriate length)
30m Cat6 - $17.99 (Melbourne stock, should be speedy delivery)

You might as well go for CAT6. eBay is usually cheapest, but MSY or CPL is probably also worth a look.
TP-Link ethernet switches are pretty cheap, and available pretty much everywhere.
The wall plates and sockets may well end up the most costly part of the exercise.
Are you intending to send HDMI over the ethernet cable, or were you after four ethernet cables and four HDMI cables?
