On the video on YouTube (I downloaded it afterward, so I don't know the
link), they suggested that after you separate the wires, you pull them
over the edge of a table or over a pen to straighten the wires out
evenly, then cut across evenly. Once I started doing that, I didn't
have to reterminate. You can also start out with too long a strip,
straighten and then cut back, so they're even.

For those of us with shaky hands, I used to find pass-through ends, just push
the wire all the way through to make sure the order is right, then crimp. Made
it mistake proof. I haven't seen them around lately.

Steve,
Which 'crimper' did you scan at MonoPrice?
I have done crimping.
But, 8 wires is a real challenge for me.

After seeing the price of the crimper on Monoprice, I think I'll
take back the remark about the cost of the crimper!

The best way to get cabled without excess loops is to crimp your own.
The crimping is relatively easy, I learned from videos on Youtube(!).
The major problem is the cost of the crimper.

Yes I agree the good crimping tools are quite expensive ! However if
you are going to be making up or repairing network cables often, good
tools are a lifetime investment.
