what is a good ethernet cable for about 40ft

[napalm03]

(under $30 CAD) im moving my computer to a different room, and i measured about 36ft, so a 40ft cable would work.

Just wondering what a good brand/type is. 5mb/s is fine, and i plan on using amazon.ca

 

please reply, that helps

Just make sure its CAT5e or above, brand doesn't really matter. A cable is a cable

I went to my nearest budget tech store and grabbed 50' cat5e for $12 CDN.  I believe 50' cat6e was a few bucks more.

If your based in Canada Prime cables is a good place, basically the Canadian version of Monoprice:

Did you already buy it? Problem with pre-made ethernet is it is hard to wall fish. Were you able to install the pre-made from one room to another?

CAT5e UTP is all you really need.
