Default How to Terminate Network Cables

Hi all

Is it possible to DIY an RJ45 plug straight onto the end of Cat 5 network
cable?
I intend to install an 8 port switch in the loft, but don't feel that my
install warants a patch panel.
Wanted to stick RJ45 "ends" straight on the cable and plug this into
switch - bit of a bodge I know, but don't want to go to the hassle/expense
of patch panel, patch leads etc.

If these are available, can anyone point me to supplier and fitting method
please?


TIA

Phil
