It's pretty easy. If you're in the United States, the best place to
purchase a crimping tool and the RJ-45 connectors are at Home Depot.

It's just a matter of having the cable, stripping it, and putting each
pair of wire in the correct spot and then crimping the wire with the
connector.

There's straight-thru and crossover - for crossover, they should be
reversed. If the original is BLUE-RED-GOLD then the matching one
should be GOLD-RED-BLUE (example is for explanatory purposes only).
Straight-thru is literally that ; the wire on both ends should look the
*exact* same through the RJ-45.

Straight-Thru:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8                          1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
   (bottom)                                 (bottom)

Cross Over:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8                          8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
  (bottom)                                  (bottom)
