Is there a machine that finishes the ends of Ethernet cables?

Post Body

I’ve recently learned how to make my own cables from spool and the process has been incredibly frustrating. Im losing my mind trying to line up all 8 lanes and hope they’re all touching the metal connections. I’ve made numerous cables that pass on my tester but when I plug them into my switch or laptop it fails.

Is there any sort of machine that you can feed spool and connectors and it makes the connection for you? I got so excited to start my home networking only to fail at making Ethernet cables. I’ve got some to work but it’s taking me a VERY long time and I’m losing my patience. Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated
