Where can I find ethernet cable in a retail store?

I'm looking for 50-feet of ethernet cable without having to order it online or by phone. I have looked at:

Target
Comp USA (closed)
Best Buy
Circuit City
Apple Store
Radio Shack
Office Depot
Staples

None of these have 50-feet of CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable. I'll settle for any of these cables but what are some other electronics retailers around?

Try Frys Electronics if there's one in your area.

Or buy a spool of cable, a crimping tool, and make your own. You can find the tool at HomeDepot. It runs around $15. You'll also need some RJ-45 connectors.

Google "Ethernet cable pinout" to see how the wires are arranged.

As an alternative, you could buy two 25 foot cables and link them with an RJ-45 coupler.

See below. Yes, they have retail outlets as well as on-line

I am surprised Best Buy did not carry it. I have picked a 50' from Best Buy before. The other places I have picked up Ethernet cables are Home Depot, Lowes and Fry's.
