I must have spent a good 90 mins trying to fit an RJ45 connector to my cat5e cable and i'm about ready to start crying. No matter how careful I am i just cant the wires to separate properly in to each 'channel' and on the rare occasion that i manage it no amount of crimping will get the wires in a neat row.

I was wondering if I could use the spacers you get when making cat6 patch cables? Or any other help anyone can offer would be most appreciated.

Thanks
 
I'm just wanting to run a single cable from my router to my NAS in the next going through a plasterboard wall. To keep the hole as small as possibly I wanted to feed to cable through and then attach a connector.
 
The problem i'm having is that the wires are so incredibly soft that when i put them in the connector one or two of them will just bend and not go in.
