Question : How to run cable

Do they make any special tool to help snake Ethernet through walls up to a drop down ceiling. Also, are there any good websites that take one step by step as to the best way to connect a naked cable (if that is the word) to a RJ45 connector? Or, I guess someone here could tell me. Do they make wall jacks for cables that come in three ports?

Answer : How to run cable

Bert2005,

What you're looking for is called a push-pull rod.  You can attach one end of a cable through it, and feed the rod through conduits, walls, etc.
http://www.pushpullrods.com/ is one site you can use to see what i'm talking about.  For more information, search for "push pull rod" into google.

As for your second question, punching down a cable into an RJ45 connector is fairly easy.  For the most part, its just like terminating a regular RJ45 cable.  Most connector plugs you can buy nowadays are color-coded and you can push the colored wires into how they are colored on the connector.  Then you need a punch-down tool to secure the wires unless something has changed.  The color scheme is typically  OrangeWh/Orange  GreenWh/Blue  BlueWh/Green  BrownWh/Brown.

To answer your last question, yes they make 3 port faceplates.
