Re: Massive price difference?

I think that you will be fine as long as you go with CAT 5E.

However, keep in mind that improper installation can adversely effect signal quality. Remember, do not staple it to the wall and no 90 degree bends.

Thanks all. I did purchase the generic cat5e one and its fine. One question though... what are the adverse effects to stapling? Is it that a staple can crush the cable when it pins it to the wall? I'm asking because my old man stapled them to the wall without ever consulting me first.

Thanks.
