This is a bit of an odd question, but figured that someone here could help me with it.
I'm going to be setting up a POE network camera to watch my back / side yard, etc and I have to run a network cable to the camera. I did a rough measurement today (down the siding, along part of the foundation, into the basement and over to my switch) I came up with 25ft. But I'm thinking that it's really closer to 27ft - 28ft because of a couple things I couldn't take into consideration when measuring, like needing some extra for a drip loop up by the camera, the thickness of the foundation where the cable comes thru into the basement, some little jogs in how the cable will be run thru the basement, etc. So I think that 30ft would be cutting it too close. I'd really rather get a 35ft cable to be safe. And I'd prefer to get a pre-made cable to avoid any connectivity issues with cutting an installing my own ends. I usually get my cables from Monoprice, but their cables jump from 30ft to 50ft, and 50ft is way to long. I don't need 15ft of coiled up cable hanging by the switch in my basement!!!
So, after all that, I'm looking for suggestions for somewhere to get a good quality 35ft Cat5e cable. Thanks in advance.
