I will add that I certainly agree it is preferable to go with
commercially assembled cables when ever possible. In my case, I wanted
to be able to squeeze the wires through several holes that were too
small for the connectors, so the connectors had to be installed after
the wiring was threaded over its 100 foot run. After this experience, I
will choose to make bigger holes for commercial cables and hire a
plasterer and painter to come in afterwards to pretty things up.

I'm surprised by very large number of comments on my original post. I
suspect that many identified with my problem.
