I really like the idea of making my own DIY ethernet cables that can be more cost effective and have the added benefit of I can make them as long or short as I need it be. The only downside is it's not immediately cheaper, because I need the crimping tool for the connectors and only after awhile it becomes more cheaper after I made a couple of them compared to buying off the shelf ones.

Have I been doing this the expensive way for no reason?

Installed 30m #CAT6 cable to one of the other houses on the property yesterday. The #ethernet tester said OK on all 8 lights - but connecting up the switches showed no signal. Used a 50cm #CAT5e patch cable.
Used another 50cm CAT5e patch cable - still no go.
Used a 15cm CAT6 patch cable - all good.
my head hurts now
