For short rack runs I won't do my own. No reason to really. Buy different lengths and you can achieve the same thing without the risk of a couple of bad crimps causing issues.
Your time is much better spent clearly labeling each cable on both ends.

Yep!!!
I'll add, in addition to clearly labeling each cable, label the port where they plug in as well. When verified all the network drops at Harvey's in Lake Tahoe 10 years ago, we annotated which switch/port/etc on the labels next to the jacks. Did the same on the switches. Made troubleshooting soooo much easier.
