    I used to make sets for WPC games before they were readily available. I think you need a “crimping” tool that basically bites down on the female connection. Then there’s another tool that cuts your spool of cable down to size that drops in a box cutter razor blade so you can replace when it gets dull.

    It’s been YEARS since I’ve done this so I can’t recall sources for tools or parts.
