I have done this and it is basically what you said, buy cable
connectors, crimper, etc. It's not brain surgery, but it does pay to
be careful to make reliable connections. I found this site useful
regarding the actual

I'm sending this again, this time with a better link, one level
up. And a properly "trimmed" response.
