#### STORY #########################################################
##################################################################

Sharing my journey to find Ethernet cables for a home project of one of my friends. Digging through the articles here I couldn't find any solid information of what to get where in 2018. So I spent an afternoon and a bit and put together a list of what the market in October 2018 offers. If anybody has additional details or new cable sources - please let me know so I can update my posting! Some prices are listed inclusive tax, some exclusive. The below information also should only give an idea what is available on the market and where to find it.

Wow...extremely useful and interesting.

What's the difference between the different types of twisted cables? Is one type superior to another?
