There are a ton more, easier just to go their site and list all the cat6 cables and sort by price. Many different colors and lengths. Shipping price seems alright.

October 23, 201213 yr Awesome find. I bought 80 cables, came to about $100 with shipping. I'm set for a long time.
October 23, 201213 yr I ordered a bunch as well although not $100 worth lol. I have a spool of cable and make my own but some of those prices were low enough that making vs buying was silly!
October 25, 201213 yr Received two boxes today - cables in both! These are pretty nice cables IMO, the outer coverings aren't nasty or anything and they appear well made. A pretty darned good deal, my thanks for you having pointed it out to us!

A pretty darned good deal, my thanks for you having pointed it out to us! I got mine in as well today. Decent cables, I was a bit worried they might be cheaper thin quality. I placed another order today for a lot of 50ft and some 25ft lengths. Having a home built next year, and figured I could use the premade cables for the shorter runs, and save the spool for the longer ones. Costwise seems worthwhile to do this.

I think you'll need to use plenum cable if you plan to run the wiring in-wall. Pretty sure that's required to meet the fire code.
