I hate Graybar. Biggest bunch of idiots on the planet. The one in Ashburn, the freaking internet capitol of the world, has the worst stock of parts related to data centers you’ve ever seen.
Coputercablestore.com does a good job. I order a lot of stuff from them and their shipping prices are fair for expedited shipping. I also rely on some sources that consumers don’t have access to.

I'm an Anixter guy. I also hate Greybar. But there's a Greybar in Lake Charles so I recommended it to OP for a couple boxes of cable.

I ran over 2 miles of cable myself when I built my house, with over 4000 feet of it Cat6.
It can be done

Their bread and butter isn't some average Joe walking into buy 300 dollars worth of parts
They have accounts with all of the major industrial E/I companies and offer different pricing to them than the general public

That is the standard assumption, but some of the prices I saw were shocking. But I guess a lot of it is I don't know wtf I'm talking about. I had never checked pricing on premium cable before.

Yeah, they couldn't care less about selling cable a box\spool at a time. That goes for any of the suppliers

Damn 4 drops per room?

Look at CMR not CMP cable. The CMP jacket on the cable is much more expensive than CMR jackets. It all has to do with building code. In your house it doesn’t matter so much. Big price difference.

Yep. Plenum cable isn’t needed in houses.

How much you pay for a box ?
Posted on 5/24/18 at 4:31 pm to Simon Gruber
3 drops to each bedroom. 7 drops in the game room. 2 drops to each tv. Drops for the 4 WiFi access points and 11 drops for POE cameras.

Damn! Need pic of MDF.

I went to order 2k feet from monoprice today and they wanted $75 shipping!
Monoprice has recently (that I’ve noticed, anyway) launched a line called monoprice essentials that always ships free. It looks like it’s the exact same as their regular product but with a shipping cost built in. Here is a link to 1000 feet of Cat6 cable shipped for $105. It looks like it is only $15 more than the one that does not ship free.

I have a box in the back of my truck. How much do you want for it?
