This is an inline cat5 splice. Our new facility has existing network coming to 2 central points and it seems the building may be 2 separate networks/segments.

I would like to terminate the wires and bring the end to my own panel. There was a panel at each end but these are gone. Both panels where about ankle height which I didn't like.

I guess I am looking at more of a blessing. The speed isn't a huge issue as thin clients/network printers will be at the end of them.
 
Not an elegant or very efficient solution but if you have no ability to rewire properly it will probably do for short runs.

The runs are a max of 150'. Everything is going through walls/conduit so I am looking for easy.
 
I would not use that on anything permanent... maybe as a temporary solution... maybe.

It's permanent. I really do not want to re-run the runs, there are at least 24 runs. They run through walls/conduit and it would not be easy to do.

Then I would at least make sure they're easily accessible, so that when you start to have weird connection issues, that would be the first place I would check.
 
Why don't you just put new patch panels in so you get a good termnation?
 
I have used cat5/cat6 coupler and it has been fine, also have just put a patch in the middle and then go to the new patch.

the one office area where the 1 patch panel was is totally gone, all of it, gone. All that is left is some wire.

The other one, there is a hole in the wall in the other room away from the equipment cabinet. The splice to panel would be like 30' tops with the total run being about 150' or so.

The hole in the wall is in a high traffic area so I do not want a hole or wires here.
 
while I'm certainly no expert, I think that would be an okay solution.

It's not like you're scotch-lok'ing the wires together, and I really don't see how it would be too terribly much different than punching the ends out to 2 patch panels and running patch cables between them.

it's definitely not an elegant solution, but I don't see how it could be terrible.
 
I am currently using 3 of these for cables that were accidentally cut and cannot be replaced due to where they run. They are working great and the connections are fast.
 
The splice there isn't going to be much different than the IDC's on the back of a patch panel. The 110 connectors are close enough on that splice that you wouldn't have to untwist too much of the pair. The only potential issue that I see is that having 24+ of those guys piled on top of each other is going to get messy. Perhaps using a cat5e rated 110 block would be neater?
 
I have used the monoprice ones just coupler or a keystone then premade cables.

You would need to stagger those look big.

Can you use premade cables on other end? May be wicker to get a patch panel in middle then go from there

Note the blue cables above the rack.

Cables in question.

This is looking promising...

I DO like this:)


I have 3 cables that I could find that need a splice. This saves some runs that will need to be added and, most importantly takes care of the ones in the office/walls.

And a perk of the job, until the equipment arrives at least:) Get all the slush from under the car.

Nice Car!
 
looks good, we've had to do the same thing with splicing at another job, the previous tenant cut all the home run at the ceiling so we extended em and used 14 ft premade and ran into the same patch.

nice R210, whats it being used for? and whats the thing on top being used for?

R210 is an esxi box with UT on it, there will not be a lot of traffic/sessions at this site. Also putting a virtual machine up for printer/scanner and misc admin stuff.

the box on top is some netnome black box security thing, network attached cameras. I set that box in there for now. We are going to try these to watch production spots on the floor for the machine operators, put the screen at their station. We do something similar in 2 other locations.

I'd like to set one up to record the entrances.

You still haven't actually figured that out eh ? that's actually your wifes computer, i haxed your untalge home firewall then re-routed your wifes c-d-e drives to mine then mounted them as virutal drives then let you share them to your self

Net stat or tracert you say :)
 
I have 10 of these on the way. The shipping is not cheap, it should have come with a hand job at $13 UPS for them. I placed an order at mono for 90$ and paid 8$ to ship a ton more weight!

Ah well. I'll give 'em a whirl and let you guys know how I like or don't like them.
