Cat-5 cables
My laptop did not come with a Cat-5 cable. While I was in CompUSA picking up a wireless card, I looked at their prices. It was almost $30 for a 14-foot cable.
I picked up a 14 foot Cat-5e cable from Wal-mart for $8. I priced K-Mart and other stores for about 50 cents per foot. Why was CompUSA so expensive.
BTW, what is the performance gain in Cat-5e over Cat-5? Is it anything a 10/100 Ethernet card would notice?
