I have brought RJ45 Cat 5 connectors and im really pleased with it :)

Now i need to buy Cat 5 cables (preferably not with connectors) because i want to try to make them. I know i have try these at college and it is challenging and interesting for me!

You just need to buy a roll of Cat5e cable.

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?

I'll have a look in Maplin on Tuesday

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
