Make sure to use UY2, not UY. The minor impedance disturbance will not add significant cross talk. It will be almost unmeasurable if you maintain the twists as much as possible.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Prince Sent: Thursday, March 5, 2015 3:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Simple Junction Box??

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.

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.
