How many connections do you have all together?
I have 21 separate runs. On one end there is the male termination, and the other a keystone jack. That's not counting several patch cables that I've made for different applications in the house.
There's an extra keystone and male connection in the wall at one point because I can't use a tape measure apparently.
There's two splice points using the little connector that the cable guy gave me. The pairs run together and then crimp down for a continuous signal.

I did this while my house was gutted a couple months ago, too. Curious, why didn't you use a patch panel? Especially for that many runs. My networking geek friends say it's more reliable, so I went with it. I only did 12 runs though.
My issue is not having an unoccupied closet with an outlet, so it all terminates to a wall-mounted patch panel, with 3-ft. patch cables to a dumb switch. Thinking about just getting a cheap ikea-style cabinet for it.
