Good to know.
I have seen the test on the 709SC and it passed. In an Ethernet
training class for a previous employer he bent the cable (not broken,
just kinked), and the tester detected an error and told the distance
to the kink. It was a very expensive tester. The next time I saw a
tester like that we were doing a service call on a church and their IT
contractor was there with one. We had him test and it passed with no
errors detected.
Use what you want, but I'd never use scotchlock connectors on Ethernet.

I call bs that the 709sc will preform any better than a scotchlock
connector. Att uses scotchlocks on uverse vdsl all day long. If uy
doesn't pass a gig test there is no way a 709sc will. Have you
actually done said test ?

End-to-end splices like the ones that I mentioned will pas a
gig test without showing impedance loss or cable errors.
Phone style Y clips will not pass a gig test. Cat-5 should
never be bent at more than a 4" radius. You surely don't want
a 180 degree bend in a splice. The 709SC are your best bet
for waterproof coupling. Those giant inline couplers with
threaded glands on each side cost a fortune and are overkill.

UY's work fine. Use them a bunch.
Has ANYONE found a inline waterproof catX coupler for like
$5 or less???

Those won't pass muster with CAT5e or CAT6 specs.
However, the Thomas and Betts 709SC works perfectly.
You untwist less than a keystone jack for sure.

I always thought it would be fast.....but I always

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.
