Hi there,
I was wondering what I'd need to create my own network cables for both home and work purposes (And maybe perhaps, telephone cables for work).
Basically, I've done this before at work a long time ago, but our previous IT guy took his stuff away when he left so, all that's left are some boxes of cable.
AFAIK, I need a Crimp Tool, Cat5 cable and the Ends (not sure what the correct name for these are). There's also some precise cutters for both...the cable and the inside copperwires (exposing the copper wire from the blue/orange/green/brown mini cables inside).
If I've left something out, I apologise. Could someone give me the correct name for these tools specified along with a good/affordable online retailer I could order these from?
Many thanks.
