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 re

You'll find CAT 5E or CAT 6 cable, and either one is good for up to gigabit speeds with no problem. If you're running jack-to-jack, just follow the color codes on the jack - make sure that you choose

I just bought pair of rj-45 jacks and wall plates from HD for about $4 for jacks and maybe $2 for the wall plates. You need to strip back and "punch down" the individual wires, which I have not done

Don't run the cables too close to AC lines, esp for long runs in close parallel, or near fluorescents. Keeping a distance and running perpendicular is best. There is a minimum bend radius for etherne

No. They're fine for the wire, and I think HD at least stocks Leviton connectors which are fine, but you don't CRIMP anything, you need a *good* 110 punchdown tool. Cat5E wire is good enough, Cat6 b

Note that the instructions on that site gloss over the color code at the plugs. For 3 of the 4 pairs, the white/tracer wire goes next to its matching color wire. But there is a pair that should be s

Um, just to be clear ... you talked about using a crimping tool. Are you planning to make long patch cables - with male RJ45s at each end - or mount wall plates? I'd really recommend wall plates if y

If you're doing fixed wiring, with jacks in wall plates, this is a reasonable way to go. (Though you'll pay a substantial premium for buying from the Borg.) If what you're planning on doing is runnin

I'm still not a fan of wireless. It's fast enough for web surfing (ie: faster than your internet connection) but slow for bulk things, like transferring that entire video file between machines, or do

Right - this is the nice thing about A, you can plug an RJ11 into the RJ45 and it will just work. _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Sho

Speed is the problem. 100Mb or 1Gb wired connection vs. 54Mb wireless (best case, which isn't the case with my existing setup). Mark _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net

I'm pretty sure the same thing holds for B. Phones don't care about pairing nearly as much as Ethernet does; and the pairing is the only difference between 568A and 568B. Randall ___________________

Correct. Both 568A & 568B, as applied to modular connector wiring, only swap the 2nd & 3rd pairs (orange & green) around. Both configurations are electrically identical, with "straight through" wirin
