Cat5e cable recommendation

I'm looking at setting up some networking in some new rooms currently
being built.

I've figured out (after much research!) that I need some cat5e cable but
I'm not sure where to buy this from. So,any recommendations or advise
will be gratefully received.

Also, I don't actually know the lengths of cable I need so I want to buy
a 100m reel so I don't have to worry about running out if/when I get
ambitious.

I've noticed Amazon sell some Belkin cable, but I'm not sure if it any
good. "Belkin Cat5e Solid UTP Bulk Cable, Blue 100m" for £17.11
http://tinyurl.com/8tjfk - I'd rather pay for quality but I don't know
enough about cat5e to know good from bad quality!

As a side note, I'm going to be pumping TV into the new rooms and I've
managed to identify the right kind of coaxial from
http://www.satcure.co.uk/

Do anyone know where I can get hold of RJ45 and Coax on the same face plate?

Thanks.

I used B&Q's cat 5e cable to do the whole house. I think it was £16 for
100m. They don't have it on their www site but if you look at screwfix.com
(same company) they do the same stuff. It was by Philex and boxed.

Steven.

Ok, cheers for that. I've found the cat5e cable on screwfix.

Anyone know about a faceplate which has both RJ45 and TV coax connectors?
