Belden Bonded-Pair Cat6+ Deal

[WXY]

Thought I pass this along for those who has a home network and can use a few short patch cords. There is a good deal on eBay for 3' Belden Bonded-Pair Cat6+ Patch, only $3 each and free shipping! BJC charges $9.75 for 3'.

BJC tests their digital cables before shipping. I would go with BJC over eBay.

Other good US suppliers.

Markertek

Redco

But they don't have Kurt Denke

I think BJC is great and I am going to replace all my HDMI and a 50' Belden Cat6 with theirs.

 

But did you actually click the link? Did you read the Belden spec sheet? These are actual bonded-pair made and tested by Belden, sold in retail package. The molded boots are actually much better connectors than those installed by hand. They are normally more expensive than BJC and this eBay seller is probably just getting rid of leftover from a commercial project.

 

And what's up with the preference of retailers? Do they sell better version of Belden's cables? Or is this guy on eBay selling fake Belden?

 

I do buy quite a bit from Markertek, they are great! Sorry if I offended you from the other post, it's not my intention.

WXY - Thanks for the tip!  This is a great deal IMO.

Glad you can use some! I don't think there is any patch cord for $3 free shipping, let alone Belden Bonded-pair. But be forewarned, it's from eBay!! ;-)

Ha!

 

I found your recommendation worthy and your analysis sound.  I concur with your conclusions and have no second thoughts on this no-brainer purchase.  I, too, would go with BJC over eBay were it not for the very significant savings of 300% on eBay in this instance as well as the free shipping.

 

Thanks again!
