"RJ45 Ethernet Cable Crimping Crimper Network Tester Punch Down Tool Kit Set UK" (in zipped wallet)£11..99 From the bay of e.
I have successfully made several and I'm certainly no engineer.

I’d echo the recommendation to use the push through type plugs. Again using a crimping and cutting tool bought off eBay

In reply to a post by Ancient_Mariner:

Have a look on eBay for Tool-Less RJ45 plug. I have used the metal ones and they do a good job. Also, if you have a crimper, I prefer to use the type of RJ45 plug where you push the 8-wires all the way through and then cut off when the plug is fully fixed.

The above are ideal if you are atop of a ladder, or in a tight place. Especially if terminating SWA CAT5 or CAT6.

Cheers!

Thanks, if I was trying to put cables through a hole then I would think about it, but it is more money for something I would use once. A mate used to have a decent crimping set, but he has no idea what he has done with it, he has not used it for a few years as all his network is optical and as he said, should never have to be touched again, unless one of the converters or switches go belly up.

i did make a mistake with the cable to the TV, it is too long, should have gone for 15 meters, also too bright, as it is white, and I can see it where I laid it down between the carpet and the wall.
