I have a fresh box of gray cat 5 that was for a home project that never got done. I have the ends around here someplace or can get some in a day or two. I have the tools for either crimp or punch terminations.

We need a bunch of network cables to wire up the museum PoE security cameras.
I have not yet measured. My estimate is about 200 feet total for four cables.
Two questions:
1. Does anyone have a very long reel of cat 5 to donate? I prefer black.
2. Does anyone have the RJ-45 ends and the tool/experience to terminate the cables? (I used to know how, but it's been 17 years since I last did it.)
I have a significant amount (several hundred feet at least) of white cat 6 in a box but I do not have any more ends. Used them all when I wired the house with cat 6 this past winter. I can drop the cable off this weekend in the morning before work if you're interested in it.
At some point I dropped off a tub full of ethernet cables. This was for the C64 networked game. Some of these were pretty long. Bill
