He might have been talking about the ScotchLok U1R They take a pair and
splice to another pair. You can keep them twisted right up until they
go into the connector

Not sure how I feel about using crimp splice but if they are reliable
I might try it

Look up 3M ScotchLok. Our guys use them all the time. I once used them
to splice together a 300ft. CAT5 cable running up the tower that was
cut at the base by a tower climber. Worked great for temporary use.

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 product to do it wrong

*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?
