I'm looking for a couple hundred feet - like 200 tops, of Cat6 (5e is fine). I don't really want to buy a 1000ft spool just to use like 10%. I've checked the usual resale sites like kijiji for some and there doesn't seem to be any.

Does anyone know anywhere else I might be able to find some?

Home Depot up there by you? They carry 500ft boxes or they can cut whatever you need.
I think Lowes also has some, they had some cat5e the last time I was in the electrical wiring section.

You can honestly likely find some in any real home improvement store, many builds use it for phone and data wiring.

Thanks guys.

I'll check out Home Depot and Lowes. I don't remember seeing any there before but if they have spools that I can just cut what I need that's perfect. Or I could order that 200' cable and just cut the ends if they don't carry it here.

Kitchener now, but yes.

UW costs a lot and if you want to do software you need to roll like a 99.5% average. Unless you sneak in for a graduate degree. I had a 97% coming out of first year in Hamilton and they turned their nose up at me lol.
