Hello I'm looking for the cheapest, fastest, and longest ethernet cable I can get. I have an IMac in a bedroom and my gaming pc is in another. It's about 20 steps (minimum) away from my pc. Right now I have a Verizon (I don't believe the modem's changing but my internet's going from DSL to FIOS. I get about 150-300 ping in ArmA 2 games my setups fine.) modem. The cable has to be under 10$ really cheap. I saw one for .98$ to 16$ so I was hoping to get a very cheap 1-5 dollar one but honestly as long as it's under 10$ I was looking at this one:

Pretty much any ethernet cable you can find will meet your needs. Just be sure to get cat5e or cat6.

Your problem I suspect will be that the cable is cheap but the shipping will cost almost as much as the cable.

It depends how you measure steps. You likely will need 50ft or 60ft if you use 3ft/step

I have purchased many cables from this company but it may not be cost effective from a shipping standpoint. You may be better off buying from a local retail store even if it costs more because it cost pretty much the same to ship 10 cables as 1
