Could be male/female, but lately I've been leaning towards butt spliced pairs ( times four ).
I think it's faster for the installes to just cut both cables, do a quick separation of pairs and press splice the four pairs together. As opposed to punching down a female rj45 and putting a male rj45 end on. Maybe not, still debating. Not sure what the gigabit Ethernet loss/gain might be between these two methods either. -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Bill Prince Sent: Thursday, March 5, 2015 3:11 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Simple Junction Box??
