Well the work is done I crimped a male RJ-45 onto the end of the new cable used the female from the old jack would not accept any splice of any type he would hire a data/comm co. Sure it would be better to replace the existing wire with a new home run, but if he can't do it, he should be okay with an inline coupler from a quality manufacturer. I can't see how "splicing" a new wire in by using an inline coupler would be a problem for the OP, especially if this is near the "end" of the run to a single workstation. And that's just the number of "splices" between the NID and my computer. There's also a patch cable between the DSL modem and first switch, another between the DSL modem and the wall keystone jack where the DSL line comes in, another cable segment between the wall and the telco NID, and another patch cable in the NID on the outside wall of my house. What's wrong with using an RJ45 female to RJ45 female inline coupler at the end of the original cable as long as it remains accessible for replacement? Between the computer I'm on now (at home) and the router connected to my DSL modem, there are five different cable segements (one run in the walls/attic and four patch cables) that are terminated on each end by a RJ45 plug or keystone jack, and three ethernet switches (I put a small switch in each room in case I need to connect more than one computer in the room to the network). I'm no expert, but I have run a lot of cat5e/cat6 wire in my house for voice and data.
