+1 I would be very wary of adding a termination to the middle of an ethernet cable run.

Might be easier to put some network switches at the third floor location. Be warned that if these runs were already near limits due to distance, putting an extra few sets of terminations in may cause you to exceed spec limits. Ethernet isn't like power or analog phone wiring, where you can splice and junction as many times as you want. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
