You just need to buy a roll of Cat5e cable.

My usual source:
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/10218/...50M-Beige-Reel

I have stopped making my own patch leads now because I have found a bloke on eBay who will do them for about 30p for a 1 metre cable. Stupid cheap You can't buy the stuff for that.

Don't forget you also need the crimp tool.

Yes, I think Belkin is the best one, or which is the best crimping tool?

Didn't know Belkin made crimp tools.

The cheapie ones crap to be honest, best to get a decent one but that will set you back 20 quid. Money well spent IMO.

This one looks OK
