RSSHOW TO - Make category 5 /5e patch cables
Chris writes - "If you are going ot make a lot of network cables, you might as well get a 1000 foot spool of wire, the ends, a crimping tool and make exactly what you want. I bought a spool a few years ago for $50 at You Do It Electronics in Needham MA. It was for a computer repair class and I have had more than enough for every need. You don't want to do more than a few hundred feet per cable. The spool is pretty much gone, so I have to do some pricing. Cat 5 is good for lots of other uses too." - Link.
