You can get them anywhere - just that I'm in the UK and that was the first

Please log in for more thread options Thanks. I just went to Blackbox's US website and didn't find it. CIAO! Ed N. Chris wrote: > You can get them anywhere - just that I'm in the UK and that was the first

I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with the item from Black Box? Regardless of whether you can find them on the US web site (maybe they don't carry an unshielded version), they are wonderful. I found these in the US about 3 years ago and bought 2 or 3 and then forgot where I got them. Once they were gone, when I ran across an occasion to extend a cat5 cable, I have used a 110 block to extend the cable. I was under the impression that the only concern with doing this is being sure to add a minimum of 45 feet before and after the "splice". The biggest problem is this: Who wants a 110 block (or 66 block) above the ceiling? Or for that matter, how much sense does it make to put a 110 block on a wall for one connection? Great item. I would have recommended it if I knew where to find it. MUCH BETTER solution than putting 8 pin connectors on solid wire and connecting or cross-connecting with a coupler. Just think of the number and quality of connection points in either scenario. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This thread has gone pretty far considering it is a simple matter to Google Cat 5e couplers. Try this link http://www.nextag.com/cat5e-coupler-inline/search-html and get whatever you need.

This is exactly the sort of "gotcha" that emerges in a few years when someone puzzles over why gigabit is slow, and a tech like us spends time finding the hidden splice. Standards have excellent reason. Violating them can also make sense. -- Robert | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
