The only bad thing about Ethernet cables is that they’re shaped like a goddamn grappling hook. If I wanna pull an Ethernet cable through my desk, I must understand that every other cable in its path is coming with it.
I always crimp my own, including using slide-on/slide-off hoods. That way I can back the hood off before plugging it into the port, which keeps it easy to disconnect, and I can slide it back on before pulling it through a tight spot.

always buy the more expensive ones with the foreskin.
The foreskin gets in the way when pulling it out of the port though.

I crimp my own, but never used the hoods before on self made. Usually I run it where it needs to be then put the end on
