The only part of making patch cables I reguarly have trouble with is actually getting the strands into the end before crimping. Sometimes they just wanna bend and bounce off the hole without actually going in deep enough for the thing to crimp onto. ๐ซฉ
I did this pretty much daily when working as an installer for a wireless ISP service. Usually it'd take no time at all. Other times I'd fight the damn thing for 20 minutes just getting it into the end cap.
