How to properly connect two twisted pair wires?

Question

Network administration

There are 36 twisted pair wires to these 36 wires, you need to add more wires 20m long. The question is how to properly connect the wires to each other without losing the quality of the Internet connection. We considered options, soldering wires, scotchlocks, adapters (mother-mother). There is an idea to purchase a patch panel and fill the twisted pair wires there and, on the other hand, connect wires with already crimped Rj-45 connectors, so I think I won’t lose the speed of the Internet connection, but I could be wrong. Please advise how to do it. The customer does not want to re-lay the twisted-pair cable. it will be expensive.

Answer 1

It is better to use a patch panel than to use pass-through connectors. It will be more reliable.

Answer 2

A patch panel or a pass-through connector is not very important in terms of speed, a pass-through connector can be even more reliable.
But in your case it is easier to look at the prices.
The patch panel needs to be fixed, it needs connectors, it needs to be crimped, and it is good if rewiring is needed in the future.
Pass-through connector / twist - then you can just wrap it all around with electrical tape and a clutch, and you don’t need to fix anything special.

Answer 3

Normal pass-through adapters or patch panel.

Answer 4

If only two ... I usually just solder, trying to keep the twist pitch and twist density - then this joint does not create a jump in wave resistance and the line does not notice it.
But if there are already 18 such joints, you will inevitably think about it. If the main criterion is a minimum of money, then still soldering, i.e. manual labor. I think it can be done in an hour and a half.
