Any recommendations on where to buy bulk black colour 1m, 2m and 3m Ethernet cables (pre-terminated)? Need a bunch for some tidying up.

    Either Amazon or 4Cabling are good places. 4Cabling currently have 60% Cables

    How many is bulk? Years ago we used to buy them in small quantities of 50 each when we needed a few for work (for a test lab). These quantity was not bulk, but a small order for a company to make.

    100 or less is not bulk.

    AliExpress is going to be the cheapest and likely exactly the same items as being sold elsewhere. Delivery for "choice" sellers will be less than 12 days (around 10 days in my experience).

    Depending on your definition of "bulk" and how shipping costs work out, fs.com might be a good choice.

    I've always found their gear to be great quality, and when buying a few hundred cables they were cheaper than 4Cabling and other local suppliers.

    DIY with a crimping tool

      Its cheaper and easier to buy pre-terminated. Because even if you do crimp your own, its such a stuff around with a few expletives. For the sake of like $1.89, its heaps easier to buy ready made ones and less chance of wiring it wrong.

      Its $220 for a role of CAT6 which is like $0.72 a meter. Then it is $62 for 100 RJ45 Connectors which is $0.62 per connector.

      1m of Cable is $0.72 and two connectors is $1.24 total is $1.96, plus time and stuffing around trying to crimp the bloody things. So its cheaper and more efficient to buy pre-made.

      That is also not considering if you have a crimper yet or any shipping costs. 4Cabling have Free Shipping over $150, so its just over 80 1m cables.
