for a 10 foot cable its like $5 USD
I was able to purchase a Belkin gold series 50 foot Cat 6 high quality cable for under 20$ including S/H in an EBAY buy it now item and a 25 foot Cat 6 cable for just over 12$. I saw many very cheaply priced cables at Amazon.com and EBAY for less than I paid for either cable. You need to decide whether you want to purchase a Cat 5 cable or the newer Cat 6 more expensive higher capability cable. You also need to decide whether you want a brand name cable as S/H on non brand cables will run greater than the cost of the cable. Walmart sells a Belkin 14 foot cable for under 10$.
