This review is from: B & A Computer Build Your Own Network Cable Kit: 250 Feet Grey Cat 5 Cable, 100 Cat 5 Plugs, Crimp Tool, and Cable Tester (Electronics)

Wow, what a DEAL! I called Radio Shack the other day to see how much 100' would cost because I wanted to hard wire my XBOX through the ceiling, and they said $80. I got 250' for $45, and have a ton leftover. Didn't come wish instructions on how to wire the cable (which was expected because there are multiple variations of wiring), but I easily found instructions online. After one short trial and error session, I got the hang of it, went up in the attic, and crimped both ends. The included tester verified the connection and I was on my way! GREAT product. Wire is actually Belkin. The crimper, tester, and plugs are great as well. Quality product to say the least.
