One may use Cat5e network cable in bulk to connect to the internet or ethernet. Large amounts of cable may be used in a business or office setting to improve signals and connections.
Cat5e is 100 mbps.
One can purchase a cat5e patch cable at a local department store such as Walmart, Target, AAFES, and the NEX. One could also purchase online at sites such as Amazon.

100 feet Cat5e cables can be purchased through many different locations. Some common places to look are Firefold, Cable Wholesale and Cable and Kits through the internet.

Cat6 cable is very similar to Cat5e cable. It is, simply put, just held to a stricter standard than Cat5e cable. Since Cat6 is made to a higher standard than Cat5e it will support higher speed transfers. Cat5e cable can be used for networks up to a 1Gbps speed while Cat6 is currently rated for up to 10Gbps speed. Cat7 takes this even further and supports 40Gbps. For normal usage on networks up to 1Gbps and no run being longer than 100 meters, Cat5e is completely sufficient for the network. To ensure forwards compatibility it may be worthwhile to install Cat6 cable while you're at it so you don't hit a speed cap in your network down the road.
To wire a Cat5e jack correctly, follow these steps: Strip the outer insulation of the Cat5e cable to expose the inner wires. Untwist the pairs of wires and arrange them according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard. Insert the wires into the appropriate slots on the Cat5e jack. Use a punch-down tool to secure the wires in place. Test the connection using a cable tester to ensure proper connectivity.
