Yes. They are usually used for phone systems but you've got "make
chicken salad out of chicken feathers" type of situation. I've never
seen them used in your situation but my guess is it should work. If you
ran Cat 6 you would need a 210 block instead.

Ah. I've never seen 110 blocks without the metal inserts. So the
"connector block" allows two cables to essentially be spliced together?

where the cable in and cable out comes in to play.

Not sure what you mean by 1:1.

If you want it sort of standards compliant then you may be able
to use a 110 block as a splice of sorts.

I made this off-topic because this is a mod I'm making in my own
home.
Many, many years ago, before I got into the wireless broadband
business, I added structured wiring at our house. This was
before Open House, Leviton, and others were making patch panels.
In the corner of a back room, I put in a "home built" patch
panel using a pair of wall-mounted 12-position patch panels kind
of like this:
http://fertyimg.pw/Intellinet-Cat5e-Utp-Wallmount-Patch-Panel-12-Port-Patches-Wall.html
This worked fine for what it was, but this is mounted near the
floor, and we want to use the room for something else now.
As it happens, there was space in the next room, and more at
shoulder level to put in an Open House patch panel with a hinged
door.
The problem is that because the new patch panel is a little bit
higher, the existing cables will need to be about 30" longer. I
would really hate to pull about 10 new cables to get that little
bit of extra length. So I'm thinking about a simple, reliable
way to add the roughly 2-1/2 feet to the existing cables. Would
it be reliable to terminate the existing cables with ice cubes,
and just use a handful of ethernet couplers? If I did that,
would you do something to ensure that they don't pull loose? Or
would it be kosher to move the 12-position patch panel onto a
wall stud, and just plug the patch panel extensions into it?
Maybe something else?
