Building your own Ethernet cable is not a simple matter, and requires a 
special crimper. Ethernet cable is four twisted pairs, each twisted at a 
different rate to minimize crosstalk. The pairs must be maintained 
end-to-end at specific pins, so that each of the four circuits is a 
twisted pair.

If I decided I needed shielded CAT cables, I'd buy them from a vendor I 
trusted. I'm using only one Ethernet cable, between cable modem and WiFi 
router. WiFi does everything else. It's a great solution to eliminate 
another source of RFI.
