[Hidden-tech] 100 foot Ethernet Cables

[Jan Werner]

Amazon shows it for about $11 including S/H and Staples for $77, which 
would be about $82 including sales tax, so I would say the difference is 
about $71. You'll probably feel better contributing that amount to the 
charity of your choice rather than to the shareholders of Staples.

There is not likely to be any difference in quality or reliability.

If you want more choices (such as color or brand), try Newegg.com:
