Somebody posted something last week that was a 4-pair version of that.
IOW, you could put the whole thing in one butt splice (instead of 4).
Unfortunately, I don't remember what it was called... :-(

*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!

Subject: [AFMUG] Simple Junction Box??
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.
