[ale] max length ethernet cable & attaching end connectors

[tewkewl at mindspring.com (tewkewl at mindspring.com)]

Max cat5 by standard is 300ft and you should use 568a cabling on both ends unless it is a crossover and then you use 568b on the other end. (pairs two and three reversed)

568a

What is the maximum length of a cat5 ethernet cable from switch to
computer ?

What technique is successful in attaching the RJ45 connectors to the
cable ends ?
I  unsuccessfully tried a couple of times using a crimping tool from
Home Depot. I'm using their cat5e cable [eight wires I believe].

Thanks again,

Courtney
