    Hi,

    For the heads, try Peats
    I picked up a servicable crimper and some cheap heads in there during the summer.

    Specify Fast™Cat5e heads and cable too though, especially the cable, and doubley especially if you're actually wiring the house with it, not a "left out through crack in door" job.
    You never know when Gigabit will sound nice :)

    The cheapest around for CAT5E, only 67 yoyo's including postage for 305 metres new.
    If anyone finds it cheaper in Ireland, please let me know!

    After taking a quick look at the site I couldn't find any RJ-45 cable or heads.

    Do they have a catalogue somewhere?
