double female eithernet cable connector |
|
|
A couple of years ago I ran an eithernet cable from my router in one
end of the house to a room being converted into a study at the other
end of the house. At the time I allowed a couple of feet of extra cable
but now I'm rearranging the room and need an additional three feet of
cable. Do they make something like a double female eithernet cable
connector that would allow me to connect an additonal cable with the
traditional two male connectors? Thanks. |

No one makes such a thing, but you could either buy a RJ45 cat-5 coupler,
or make up something with keystone jacks and some solid core cable
from Home Depot or Radio Shack or the like local to you. |

Doug, Radio Shack said they never carried such a connector but when I
went to the local electronics supplier they did have the RJ45
cat-couupler, double female, just what I needed. Thanks again for the
suggestion. |

Just go to an electronics store (aka Jaycar, Dick Smith, etc. here in
Australia) and look for an RJ45 female-to-female adaptor. That will couple
two RJ45 ethernet leads together. I doubt it complies with any of the
ethernet or ISDN standards, but it's grass-roots networking and it works!
I use them regularly when fiddling with network arrangements and I need to
extend a cable a short distance to reach a device but have plenty of short
ethernet leads on hand.
