I was curious about that product as well.

I wouldn't use the pictured one either, but supposedly there is a
product like this, but specific for Cat5/6 where the pair go into
the connector. It would replace doing a punchdown splice block or
RJ45 coupler.

we have come across a few customer splices using the redcaps, if
theyre going to splice themselves, at least theyre using a quality

*Subject:* [AFMUG] Cat5 Splicing
Out at AF I was talking to some who said that they were
using a Cat5 splice product. They described it as being
similar to a butt connector
Image result for cat5 splice keep twist
but was specifically made to accept the Cat5 twist, so that
the twist went all the way into the unit to splice with
another twist. I've been searching around, but haven't been
able to find them. I can see this being better than trying
to do an RJ45 coupler in some situations. Anybody use
something similar to this?
