Pre-make some cables too. CAT-5/6/7 or whatever to a length that is commonly used on a rack. Same with fiber or other cables.
Premade cables very often use stranded cable, so they are more flexible and can tolerate more plug/unplug cycles than handmade cables. Consistency is also better among factory-made cables.
However, we all have a lot more practice with CAT5 connectors than with CAT6 connectors, so practice with them is a great idea!
