Original Siemon so cheap meh?

gave me dealer price as my old company used to buy alot cables from him.
If not wrong, Cat6 retail Siemon is around 900+

Anyone want to buy my left over cables once i'm done with laying? i think i'll be left with at least 200 meters of cable as i'm only using a small amount.. cut down my cat6 points to just 4 lines from initial 8.

Already have 12 points in my house

How much u plan to sell?

sell per meter lo if small qty.

how much u want?

GenerAlly what's the incremental price difference between cat 6 and 5e cables?

depending on brand. Siemon cat5e price is around 200+.. cat6 500.. this is the price i get from my supplier.

I'm in the middle of planning for hosue renovation in Selangor.
Any good contractor recommendation for:-
1. Gigabit Network Installation
2. Additinal electrical plug point installation
3. Streamyx / UniFi compatible readiness
4. Astro Cabling readiness
5. Alarm & CCTV readiness

I've seeing many house with patch work after hosue is renovate. I'm new in this area, would need some good recommendation in workmanship and knowledge wise.

Thankyou.

anyone know where to buy fibre cable as per unifi contractor use?

Think they are using single mode fiber, but type and brand i am not sure. I only lay a empty conduit straight from my rear laundry area to my server room

Does it far and straight line?

Yes straight and 15' conceal.

it's not advisable to lay your own fibre as there'll be a chance that TM ppl will not accept it. It's free anyway from them so let them do it. Just lay the conduit so that they can thread it in den ok di.

hello, got a question to ask! When I did my own patch panel, and run it thru the cable tester, the light flows from 1 to 8 but somehow miss the G. Does that mean the cable is not gigabit?

I'm using Cat6 cable.

You need to check your cable tester manual.

Didn't come with it.

Shouldn't have skimp on cheap cable tester!


BTW this is what I got -






Edit:

Just read the website, what the heck does this mean:

1.　It can test correspondingly double-twisted cables 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and G,meanwile,can judge wrong 　　connection,short circuit and open circuit. ...

This one is good for testing connection only. Can't test lost signal and noise. If you have all the light run in sequence then is connect correctly. For full CAT6 compliance you need difference tester.

anyone can recommend me where to get STP and UTP cables at good price from a reputable brand (i.e. AMP)...
can anyone tell me how much roughly?
