who has the best deals on pre terminated ethernet cables?

[clay]

I need about a half dozen 12-18" ethernet cables for an installed application in my home network. Would prefer pre-terminated. I assume just about anything sold now new is coming from one of a handful of factories and are pre-tested, etc.

Any reason not to grab this 10-pack? https://www.amazon.com/Ercielook-Etherne...8PI6SID7L5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0328N3MBYyQLOikSNnTEQq-hTfMYRfPZpS7uIf_jcQ8eVA45fkev5uwkug3EzmkT0KGkkzccEUL3METV7xEggKV6hnk1CuCUEIUJmRMOymCWuhxhp9SZDA2Ir0zxwZSpkygBaCj3-BWBsBsWHR2KqvRGd-S3ma4MIzpXpTw3JP3gB1LoPlURkOmRBwDFRkiQjauLf6Y6lhDuOmNS5WGkc6igOAMR4LMESJAeXmFz7N0.fzW2-u0Umdf4zhcZSGpfxIRwQ2mtDyn1gRasNx2CGtc&dib_tag=se&keywords=1%2Bfoot%2Bethernet%2Bcable&qid=1729021798&sprefix=1%2Bfoot%2Bethernet%2Bcable%2Caps%2C82&sr=8-15&th=1

I'm assuming I should avoid any of the "slim" or otherwise non-standard variants of CAT6 cables that I'm seeing out there.

Anything better out there that is worth the expense?

This would be another option: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=9819

14.99 for 12-pack + shipping

I like these guys for bulk cable. And they aren't too far from me so shipping is usually quick.

About $19 shipped for 8 x 1footers.

I'm sure I'm not stressing the capacity of my ethernet cables, but I love my Monoprice slim cables, especially for the shorter lengths because they're actually flexible and don't pull on lightweight devices (so things actually stay in place). Of course, if you're dealing with rack mounted equipment, you wouldn't have that problem.

ended up going with some clearance Cat6a 2 foot patch cables from firefold. Cheaper than regular price Cat6. Great price, and they should be here pretty quickly.

Yeah, these will be to interconnect some rack gear, so slim isn't really needed or worth anything extra for me.

I went with 10 cables (to have a couple spares on hand). Out the door at just about $21.
