Back when I was in IT, I rolled plenty of my own data cables. It's not
particularly difficult, and doesn't really require much by way of
special tools (figure on a $20 phone/ethernet crimper, and $20 for a
punch-down tool if you go for terminal blocks). I doubt that your data
cable is pushing as much signal through it as your average computer
network, so the computer bits (figure on about 5 bucks for parts if you
go for jack& plug, or if you want to use a terminal block, just grab it
from the dumpster at an office or large building renovation/demolition)
should do the trick.

Cheers,
