The product I think Nate is referring to sounded something like that.

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.

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?
