Do you know how to make a RJ-45 ethernet cable?


You want some CAT-5 cable (at least two pair, likely four pair).


On this point, I'll disagree with my friend Don.

Buy a cable. They are far cheaper than you'd think, and FAR more reliable.
I used to make my own but...

If you need a cable from A to B; use 2 faceplaces, 2 keystones,
2 patch cables, and a spool of CAT-5. You *can* put the keystones
on reliably.
