karltimber · 2006-12-08 19:42:06

Just finishing an extension and have wired the place with cat5 cable. I have 4 wires at the router and 4 sockets in 4 different rooms. So, what tools do I need to complete the wiring of this cat5 cable (at sockets & at router) what "connectors" do I need - RJ45 ? where to buy these tools - ebay ? how much? Any advice…

Yeah, you will need RJ45 connectors, which will probably come in packs of 10 or more and a crimping tool, they normally come as RJ11 (your normal telephone connectors) and RJ45 combined. Any computer shop will have them for around 20 eurons.
