Dual CAT5e or CAT6 cables on a reel?

[mojogil]

Does anyone know of a good place to purchase CAT cable that is bundled two or four in one? I want at least 2 cables in one but wouldn't mind 4 (future use). I am also wanting a nice reel with wired connections on the side rather than cables hanging out the side. I saw that Markertek has some nice reels. Just looking for some suggestions.
Thanks,
Gil

Well, it wasn't on a reel, but...

I purchased a Whirlwind 6-channel analog 2-channel Ethernet snake. 200' was around $600-$800 (don't recall the exact price). My particular snake has stage boxes at both ends with ¼" TRS jacks, which I adapt to XLR, stereo, or balanced ¼" based on the cables I plug in. Has worked great for me thus far.

I run SAC on one of the Ethernet channels. The other is just a spare, though the original purpose was for DMX over Ethernet should I ever go that route (right now, I run DMX over one of the ¼" analog lines with no problems).

Don't know if they have 4 Ethernet versions, but certainly they have 2-channel Ethernet. My only complaint is that I really wanted 8 analog channels and my choices were 6-channels or 12-channels. Didn't want the weight or cost of the 12-channel snake so I ran two stereo channels (cans and iPod) down two channels rather than four.

I've seen cable from gepco that contains 2 and 4 ethernet cables.

Do a google search for gepco 4 channel cat5

Try http://www.markertek.com/ they have a number of reel configurations. Here is one that might work. http://www.markertek.com/Cable-Manag...R-CES-25.xhtml you didn't say what length you were looking for.

Thanks for the replies. Great info. I'm looking for 200' of cable.
