Something like one of these?
I always thought it would be fast.....but I always assumed it wouldn't
pass muster with CAT5e or CAT6 specs. If you're untwisting more than
1/2" to be able to physically fit the splice in, then I think you're
adding more crosstalk than a jack or plug would.
*shrug* if it's working, it's working.
Could be male/female, but lately I've been leaning towards butt spliced pairs (
times four ).
I think it's faster for the installes to just cut both cables, do a quick
separation of pairs and press splice the four pairs together.
As opposed to punching down a female rj45 and putting a male rj45 end on.
Maybe not, still debating.
Not sure what the gigabit Ethernet loss/gain might be between these two methods
either.

So what's going to be in the box? RJ45-RJ45 female-female coupler, or what?

Mmmm, that second one might work.
The first one is a bit big for joining cable.
Still wish the second had an access hole in the back and were even smaller.
But that's better than any other option I've seen, thanks!

Still looking for a simple junction box to cover existing Cat5 coming out of
the house.
This is for joining the crapping indoor rated existing Cat5 to and outdoor
rated cable.
Home Depot has a $3 pvc grey junction box with screw on cover and two � inch
holes.
That's about the best I can find.
But I would still have to drill a hole out for the Cat5 coming out of the wall.
And completely plug up one hole, and probably caulk up around the outdoor rated
Cat5/6 coming out the other...
What I really need is that same junction box with a single smaller hole about
the side of outdoor Cat6, and a hole in the back.
Nothing more.
Can't find anything like that.
And most stuff like that is over $10, for $1 worth of plastic.
