Extending cat5e

dom · 2011-05-15T06:41:37+00:00

I've been putting cat5e cables throughout my place as part of theconversion project - all within the studwork.Because of a late-in-the-day change in room layouts, the place whereI'm drawing all the cables together has moved.Being a sensible chap, I left plenty of spare length on the cables -except where I didn't.So 4 cables need to be extended, and the joint location will becomepermanently closed within the cavity.How to join these cables?RJ45's and back-to-back connector?Solder?Something else?
