What is important about installing CAT5E cable is not to bend it to sharp and definitely do not kink it. Also do not pull on it too hard. Pulling on it too hard will effect the twist characteristics of the twisted pairs.Make up of the jacks is also very important. Do not untwist the pairs more than an 1/2 inch of final make up on the jack. Using the Panduit jacks very little untwisting of the pairs is needed.
It is also important the colored pairs connect to the proper pins of the RJ45 jack. Not all colored twisted pairs of the cable have the same twist per inch. The two pairs that are used in most data applications is the org pair and the green pair.
