To build your own you will need a networking cable, 2 RJ-45 Jacks, and cable cutting pliers.
You first must cut your cable to your desired length.
Then you must strip your wire so that the jack clamps down on the original wire.
Then spread out your wires and going from left to right put the colors in this order:
light orange, dark orange, light green, dark blue, light blue, dark green, light brown, and dark brown.
Once your colors are in the right order, with the clip part facing down put wires in their slots.
Make sure wires are far enough in to make a connection. (you should see the wires at the other end of the jack.)
Use pliers to clamp the jack onto the wire.
Then repeat on the other end of the cable.
When you think you have it right you can plug it into your computer and your Internet and see if you can get a connection.
For me the first time wasn't hard. Once you get one side down you shouldn't have much problem on the other side. Just be careful when stripping the wire because if you cut one of the colored wires you have to start over. I only had to start over once :)
I believe anyone can make these and it could be a lot cheaper so good luck.
