How can I fold my own network cables? [network cables]
Q: I want my own network cables how do I do that? I can cut and pre-made cables and make more than one cable out of them? As I have 2 100 ft. cables not in use, I cut off the ends and use the wire or cable should I buy new?
Best Answer: Advise you to set up a wireless network instead of wired network by using wireless router, so that you can forget about those cabling works.
Feel free to take a look on this wireless network setup tutorial, hope can give you more ideas: http://www.home-network-help.com/wireles…

Re:Crimping stranded cables (aka patch cables) is just a bad idea IMHO.
Do you know if the ends you have are for stranded cable or solid?

Re:High quality components have nothing to do with it. IF they all meet the Category spec, then they're as good as they need to be.
Better quality stuff might buy you some extra margin, but if the termination's not right, it'll suck just as bad as cheap stuff that's not terminated right.
Here's a hint for you though: strip the jacket ~2-3", organize the individual wires (follow the spec for color & pair code) … when you have 'em nice & flat, trim them to length then put your connector on.
There are all kind of glitchy problems that bad cabling / bad termination will cause, most don't look like cabling problems.
The big plus is that you'll be enhancing your troubleshooting skills.
Have fun

It takes some skill to get the wires short enough and the jacket cut back just so.
I imagine most guy's cables would fail spec just by looking at them.
If the wires are all in order like in the diagram, I can't imagine where there would be a problem with spec.
I imagine that good, high quality materials would be a biggie.
I don't think this kid is worried about specs though.
I know I don't get a whole lot of inspectors around my house.
The problem comes when the wires don't work to spec and the user changes out every other piece of hardware trying to figure out why their network is CRAWLING. To each their own.

I just made my first ones and it's very easy. It requires a certain amount of dexterity, care and common sense.
Aside from that, it's pretty easy.
Making them is easy, getting them to pass specification tests is supposedly the hard part.

Re:If you have the crimp tool, then all you need is the diagram.

Yes, you can cut the wire to any length.
You can't use the ends over, so you'll need to have new ones.
If you need some, one of the guys here at atot can supply them quick and cheap.
I'll look him up if need be, just pm me.
