Re: UTP Cable Wiring Nightmare
I would recommend establish the lengths you'd need and then buy some pre-made cables of that length - if you need to run the cable without a plug then your worst case is that you need to only put one plug on (I.e. the one you removed to thread the cable).

Just a thought - How did you strip the cable? Did you use the yellow tool in the picture? - When you did this did you then expose a good few inches of cable to work on adding the plugs? - Those strippers can "nick" the cables again creating crosstalk/faults so you should never work on the bare cut.

Also when you wire up the RJ45 connector you need to do this as close to the twists as you can - improving the signal.

A photo of one of your ends might help?
