Well the normal sort's obviously got to pierce the flex, but I can't
imagine how the solid cable sorts going to work: straddle the wire,
perhaps?
Actually, I suspect that _some_ people may simply be putting RJ45
flexible type connectors on solid wire simply because of the
scarcity/expense of wall sockets. Although the _solid_ cable is usually
available (and the RJ45 (flexible type connectors (AFAICT)) _and_ the
crimping tool) wall sockets aren't).
Actually, I did this at home myself where it's only a test network,
although the covers to the pcs are usually off or loose, I don't shift
them about much.
