What you need is the current issue of Make, which has an article on 
exactly this problem:

    From MAKE 01: Premiere, Page 96
    The 5-in-1 Network Cable

    by Mike Ossmann
    Nothing's worse for a network administrator than being without a 
    needed cable. So I made a single cable to replace the five I used
    to carry. The result: no more tangles and no more scrounging for a 
    missing link.

Quoted from <http://www.makezine.com/01/5in1cable/>. 

The author has a fuller version at <http://www.ossmann.com/5-in-1.html>.
