(Disclaimer: I'm a noob at networking, so if anything I wrote here makes you face palm, I apologize. I'd appreciate a correction)
I've got a bunch of individual 1m ethernet cables lying around, and after discovering the art of splicing and crimping, I decided to make my own ethernet cable. I'm thinking of maybe a 10m run from my router. Thing is, each of the cable is not same as one another. Would making a longer cable be as simple as just connecting and twisting each wire together and soldering them (sort of like how it works in making extensions of data cables)?
What would be the drawbacks of this?
