Where can I buy a really long Ethernet chord?

Question

I need a really long Ethernet chord (like 12 meters). When I had my cable modem set up, I had it installed next to my computer which is in my room. But, I want to connect an X-Box 360 and go online and play games. But, to do that I need to connect it to a router (which would be in my room). So, I need a really long Ethernet chord from my router to the living room to hook up to the X-Box 360. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Staples has a 50' ethernet cable, or you could order a cable from blackbox.com.

Answer 4

you could probably buy one anywhere like best buy.......but it would be alot easier if you just got a wireless router then got  a wireless adapter for your xbox they are kinda expensive but it is definitly worth it. heres the website for it..

Answer 5

Whatever you do, stay away from the Office type stores.  I went to one and they wanted $75 for a 100' ethernet cable.  

I ended up buying it online for less than $20 and free shipping.

Answer 6

go to an electronics computer shop for hobbyist - they come in 25, 50 , 100 feet

You can buy at best buy but they are very expensive

be careful your mom does not trip on the cord !

by the way the short ethernet cords ( 3 feet or so) are referred to as "patch cords"  to confuse everybody

You want a regular ethernet cable as well not a "crossover " cable

Answer 7

12M is alright.  Just remember you cannot go more than 100m (which is what I would consider really long).

You can get a 30 to 40' chord online, bestbuy, radioshack, or you could have someone from a local computer store make one for you!  

Answer 8

i bought a 100 foot cord at walmart.

Answer 9

You should easily find cords of this length at most electronic stores.  This is not all that long.
