HOW-TO - Ethernet Cables
HOW-TO - Ethernet Cables
This is a very good reference and tutorial on how to terminate Ethernet (capital letter, please) cables.
I don't agree with the chart regarding the use of CAT 3 cable. CAT 3 cable is crap and you should only use cable certified for CAT 5 as a minimum. Also, use the best quality crimping tool and RJ-45 connectors you can afford. The time you waste debugging flaky cables more than makes up for the additional component costs.
