I need to do some CAT5 cabling and logically I should buy a big 300M
reel and a crimp tool/RJ45 plugs and do it myself.

How easy/difficult/tricky is it to wire these plugs onto bare CAT5?

Also, how do I know which wire connects to which pin on the plug?

I presume I use the crimp tool to connect them up?


Or should I continue to be a big girly wuss and buy pre-crimped??

Ta..
