Default How much for a CAT5e module?

You know those things and inch wide that clip into a face plate.

I wanted four but can anyone guess how much I was quoted, each,
including discount, on Friday?

Is that a typo for £7.10 or £7 to £10?

I don't think they had invented UTF-8 when my newsreader was
written... Oh they had, first presented at the to the USENIX
conference in 1993. 1998 is the last copyright date in my
newsreader...

The graph of UTF-8, ASCII, ISO-8859-1 v time on wonkypedia doesn't
show UTF-8 making any significant appearance on the web until
2006/2007.

I checked my Screwfix order history and they were £0.30p each from Labgear
however they don't seem to stock them at the moment.


In fact they don't seem to stock very much CAT5e stuff at all.


The Cat 6 version seems to be £2.25 from LAP.

Hopefully you weren't asked for more than £10 for four.

Cheers

No one else appears to wish to have a guess so I'll say what I was
quoted:

£11 + VAT EACH!

MK ones but the two module MK face plate and MK blank were a far more
reasonable £3.96 to the credit card. CEF in Hexham. I'm not sure that
the person serving me was the brightess spark in the box. I had
wanted a Crabtree surface single metal rockergrid back box(*) but he
said they had no stock. I then asked for the modular bits and he
brings out a single gang twin grid face plate...

(*) Crabtree rockergrid stuff uses smaller (73 mm) metal back box.

They weren't the MK proprietary 'not-quite euro spec' plates and modules
were they? I think those are like rocking horse ****, so might be more
expensive ...

You forgot to ask for the 75% trade discount, the 10% special offer discount, and the 5% on Tuesday discount.

That would make them only twice as expensive as CPC which have modules from about 50p each.

B-)

Yeah, their "list prices" are stupidly high but then they apply a 95%
discount and they become reasonable. £3.96 inc for the faceplate and
blank is "reasonable".

Trouble is the amount of time and keyboard tapping that is required
to apply the discounts to each line of the order. 5 mins to pick out
back, 15 mins to work out the invoice...
