Hello guy's it's mK and I am new to the forums. I will be making tutorials and reviews to help the community out. Here is one I made on how to make a Ethernet cable cat5e for a straight through connection, so instead of buying some here and there if you do a lot of networking / gaming you can just order bulk and make your own. Saving you money. Well enjoy and I will be having more for the community to view and will answer any questions that arise.

Good instructional video. I need to memorize the cable color order sometime.

Edit: Is there a difference in how to setup a CATe versus a CAT6 cable?

question:
Length: cat5 and cat6 (plus difference).

cheap tool. im relocating my equipment to the basement and no idea which one. I will use two times and done. any suggestions?
Not interested in paying $50.00 for a tool. Most can be bought. this is one time.

as for transfer speeds

in theory :

USB
Low speed, up to 1.5 Mbps (USB 1.0)
Full speed, up to 12 Mbps (USB 1.1)
Hi-Speed, up to 480 Mbps (USB 2.0)
As of USB 3.0 3,200 Mbits/s or 3.2 Gbits/s. The theoretical top signaling rate is at 4.8 Gbits/s.

VS

Ethernet
Cat5: 100 megabits or 1000 megabits (gigabit) depending on your NIC and the modem.
Cat6: 1000Mb / 10GbE but on a frequency of 250Mhz opposed to cat5 @ 100Mhz
