Question about wires (Cat5)

I have a huge spool of CAT5 wire... if I wnated to create a 20 foot ethernet wire, what exactly do I have to buy from home depot?

I have already wired my apartment and I installed jacks which were color coded. I was in home depot and didnt see any plugs that were color coded... I hope this makes sense haha.. thanks for any help!

I have a crimper and know what i'm doing to an extent... patch cables are so fvcking expensive that's all...

Patch cords at compusa, bestbuy, officemax, home depot, etc. are grossly overpriced. Always buy them online.
