Do any of you have good experiences attaching those little RJ-45 connectors onto CAT6 cable? Yesterday, I ran a cable into another room to connect a computer via cable, rather than Wi-Fi. It took several attempts to get those eight tiny wires into the plug, but it finally worked. Today, it was working intermittently, so I got out the tester. One of the wires lit an orange light, rather than green, so there's a bad connection.
I ordered some of these from Amazon because the little wires pull right through the plug, and you can easily see that all the wires are where they should be.

Connecting those wires is what I do for my day job.
The mod end connectors are a little difficult to put on, but with practice you can become proficient as well.
Out of the 4 pairs in the cable, only 2 are used for the actual communications which are pins 1-2 and 3-6. Of you are connecting direct from computer to computer, you have to cross one end. Orange on 1-2 and green on 3-6 on one end and green on 1-2 and orange on 3-6.
