Would that work for Cat6 end to end splicing? I forget if Cat5e and
Cat6 cable are usually solid core.

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.

*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?
