RE: Extending CAT5e shielded

["Rob Mouser" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have used the CAT5 couplers from CPC (Which have krone style punch
downs.)
once punched I then have twisted the drain wire from each end together
through the centre.
A m8 of mine tested the runs with his 'black box tester thingy' and they
passed the shielded tests. I guess because the drain remains intact and
only
a 1.5inch section does not have the metal shroud.

HTH.

Rob

Cheers Gavin - i had looked at these, but was concerned that the
drain/shield would be broken.

Also i would have to fit plugs onto the sold cat5's.

I've decided to go for two sockets and a v.short patch lead in the ceiling
void.


Thanks



Dean.

Dean

We use the standard ethernet cable joiners at work occasionally with no
problems.

I have one in front of me if you want to try one out.

Anyone done this before ??

I've got to extend a bunch of CAT5e Shielded cables.  Does anyone know of a
neat way of doing this, and one that keeps the CAT5e performance intact.


Thanks



Dean.
