RE: Re: Joining Cat5 + Wall Cabinets



Paul

Thanks, that's just what I was looking for.  Can I ask where you ordered
them from - direct or via a reseller?

Thank you everyone else who also replied with other suggestions.

Cheers,

Steve=20

Are they fully Cat5e compliant?

Reason I ask is I searched a lot for something to extend a load of Cat5e
an=
d
most that I found wasn't Cat5e certified (more for telephone type cabling).
I did find these though and bought 5 x 100 pair units to extend 125 cables:

locks

These are fully Cat5e and the 100pair field termination kit is only around
=A330ish IIRC - great for extending a large number too.
