I don’t think that’s right. Stranded should only be used for patch cords which need to withstand flexing, otherwise all cable both indoors and out should be solid. Not to say there aren’t homeowners who have pulled a 50 ft patch cord from Best Buy through their walls, but you should very rarely encounter stranded cable in permanent wiring.

We have used those for a while. We also use DC4 in the coupler inside,
and then wrap the outside with silicon tape. They have lasted for years

I think I agree.
We've used the Bulgin jobs for a long time, and they work very well.
However, with the Bulgin you have to terminate the ends after you've
threaded the glands/nuts on.
This one looks like you can terminate the ends before assembly.

[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?

Re: [AFMUG] Cat5 Splicing
Sounds like they are referring to this: http://www.alliedelec.com/3m-u1r/70112963/ From: Nate Burke Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2015 10:51 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cat5 Splicing 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.
