I have been making them for about a month now and it so much less expensive and although i messed up the first 2 , the rest have
worked perfetly.

The kit was around 35$
The 1000ft of wire was 150$
The extra clips were 15$ish
The covers at the end were like 7$

of course...

Yeah, I make 'em too, but you're gettin' ripped on the pricing.

A box of Cat5 shouldn't cost more than $75 at the highest.

Depending on the quantity of the connectors and boots [ 100? ], they should also be about half that price.

Check Monoprice.com

They also sell on eBay but their website prices are better.

I think you'll find their pre-made cable prices hard to beat too.

done my own, even soldered together a simple circuit with some leds to test them, but it depends on if i'm being lazy or under time pressure wether i buy or not.

right. but if i need 50 patch cables fast, i buy them and pass the cost to the customer.

making your own cables is the best when networking your house because you don't have to have extra cable laying around in some rooms. you can make the exact length you want

I make mine for dial-up because you can use better cable & make the legnths you want cat3 twisted pair is usually sufficient for dial-up.This is to make regular phone cable for my modem & PC.
