Re: wiring from router to Wallplate

Tools: IDC Punchdown Tool
RJ-45 Crimping Tool
Cable Tester(optional)

Materials: Enough CAT5e cable for the job.
RJ45 Crimp Connectors for the router end of the cable
Single/Double RJ45 outlets(depending on what you need)
Standard electrical backbox for each outlet

As for the wiring, most wallplates will come with colour coded connections on the back, you lay the wire on the top of the terminal, and use the punch down tool to press it in as far as it will go.

The RJ-45 ends are a bit more tricky, you have to arrange the individual 8 conductors according to the correct sequence(linked to below), carefully place the RJ-45 plug on the end, and crimp it using the......well, er crimping tool!
