Radio Shack and others sell end connectors that will allow you to 
connect the ends to two cables.

Another alternative is to get a crimpers, CAT5, and a couple of ends and 
make your own - if you choose to do this, use the EIA/TIA standard or it 
will likely not work.

The EIA/TIA standard is:
white/orange
orange
white/green
blue
white/blue
green
white/brown
brown

Good luck,

David
