It's not difficult, but you need the right crimping tools, as these things just don't go together with a pair of pliers. I make most of my own cables, but it isn't worth it to me to make the pigtails.

If you wish to make your own, you'll need a crimp tool (about $100USD) and the MC connectors ($5-6 ea), the N-male ($4-5) connector plus cable ($.025/ft.). Prices drop in bulk.

Of course, you could by in bulk, and then sell your own pigtails. But for one or two? Forget it, buy them.
