Re: [OT] RJ45 splitters wanted

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kevin,

A short patch lead, a straight through coupler and a side-by-side
splitter? Not very neat but it would do the job.

Either that or ditch the patch lead & coupler and get some of the
B&Q
surface mount socket boxes and punch-down sockets. Run short flying
lead from the wall socket and then punchdown the "B&Q"
sockets in a
daisy-chain fashion. Still not as neat as an integrated adaptor though
:-(

HTH,

Tim.
