ANY electrical wholesaler

€50-55+VAT or per box of 300m is the standard

they do the end / cable ties / rack mount plates and krone tools as well to punch the cable into the ends and racks

I don't need to buy a box, probably about 20 - 25 metres would be sufficient. It is for a small one off job.

B&Q is the place, so?

Bought some in B&Q about 6 months ago.
Think it's about EUR17 for 50m or so of CAT5e cable. Not sure if there's any shorter lengths available.

From their website:

Prices in pounds sterling of course.
