Hmmm, I've just put in Cat5 wiring in our place for our fast Ethernet
network.  The sockets are all designed for solid core cabling and I have
made up some solid care connecting cable with the "stranded RJ45
connectors" and they seem to be OK so far.

But from the comments that people have made, maybe I should have used
different RJ45 connectors?  So far, all is working OK though.
