Quick Opinion: Lengthen Cables

[TechieSooner]

Whole new building wiring- everything destined for central switches.

Alas, I naturally have 4 too short... can't rerun new ones.

Best way to extend these 5 feet or so (yes- THAT close!)?

Was thinking couplers but those are rather big/bulky/ugly looking...

Couplers would keep connections clean and less chance of interference than splicing. If it's possible to terminate and then just use a 5' longer patch cable?

Terminate all of the 'too short' cables into a punch down "patch panel", then run patch cables between the termination and your switches.

edit: add pictures
so one side has a punch down and the other side has a network jack:

I think Couplers might be the only way to do it...
only 4 cables too short, and only by 5 feet...

QFT this is the best option and the most "right" way to do it.
