Do you have a really long cat.5 cable laying around with no ends well if you do I can show you an easy way to use that long cable for a really long high speed ethernet cable.

Get the Stuff!!

you will need the following

One standard lenghth cat. 5 ethernet cable

The stock cat. 5 cable of your desired length

Pin nose pliers

Electrical tape

knife of some sort.

Cut the Standard One in Half Cleanly

Just fold the short cable in half and cut it with clips or a knife.

Then cut off about an inch of the insulation off both cut ends.

Clean Off the Ends

Expose each individual wire on every end of all your wire ends.
Just enough to twist each together
Do the same to your stock wire

Now for the Splicing

You have to match the colors on each wire and twist them individually. ( if you want you could solder each wire but that would take a lot of work)
There is a chart of the colors at the bottom of this site.
There is a couple wires that are hard to tell what they are.

When you twist one together use electrical tape to shut it off or you could fry something maybe....

After Doing Each Side

now rap the whole but off your twisties together with a good amount of tightly wound electrical tape

Test It

Test it on something that isn`t as important so it doesn`t mess something up.
I am not responsible for any shorts that probably has to do with matching the colors wrong...
