I did all 17 cables. (13 to 17 today). It took me about an hour to do them. They all test OK. My dad will be buying some more Cat6e tomorrow and we will add an extra 5. I like the Cat6e that does not have the plastic "cross" separating the pairs. Its pairs are twisted more tightly than the one with the "cross". When I use my cutter on a cable that has the "cross", it also cuts into the wires because they are pushed outwards. The Cat6e I like does not have that problem. I put a plastic sheet over the rackmount so the dust from the workers does not get into the plugs and connections.
