Will a 60-foot run of CAT-5 ethernet cable work?

It helps to use a decent quality crimper and also carefully examing the 
connector, prior to crimping, to ensure the wires are in the correct 
location and fully inserted into the plug.  Also use the appropriate 
plug i.e for solid or stranded wire.  There are also "universal" plugs 
available, but I don't know if they're as reliable as the proper ones.  
I have made up many cable in my time and rarely have problems with 
them.  I also have a cable continuity tester that shows whether any 
wires are open or crossed.  Better testers will even show which end is bad.
