I'm surprised how easy it was once you have all the right tools and a good tutorial to follow.

It feels awesome to make your own custom cables. Especially to get it the exact size you want. What isn’t awesome is trying to debug an intermittent problem due to a faulty cable that sometimes works. My advice if you’re making one or two go for it. If you need 10 just buy them. They are always better cables and so much less time consuming.

This does not include wiring your house with jacks. Those punch downs are pretty full proof and you can’t even honestly buy that premade.
