    I found a guide. My question is do I need to use a new RJ45 connector or can I use the one I cut off?

    Better yet. What is the best way to remove the RJ45 connector? Can someone point me to an illistrated guide?

    A pair of side cutters will do the trick. Just make sure you have a spare RJ-45 connector, and some cable crimpers handy!

    RJ-45 connectors are not reusable. If you plan on making a lot of cables, just get some CAT5e, RJ-45 connectors, and a pair of cable crimpers. Otherwise, save the hassle and buy a CAT5 crossover cable.
