Wires caught

[drewgost]

Anyone have a solution. can i buy the female end and attach remaining wires?
they got caught in the extension box but I did not notice due to being upside down on a ladder.

Depending on your installation situation you could terminate the wires on a keystone jack.

Just tried that i could not get them to connect when punched down, too thin?

 

[drewgost]

can i cut off the end with the power connector to get more wire so i can solder?

If all else fails, you may consider this.

Looks like you already have enough to splice and solder the existing wires.
If you really need more wire, the plug plastic can be controllably melted with a hot air pen at 190C

I'm surprised no-one has said something like :
"That's not very sensible. The rush of blood to the head can impair your judgement".

It's also a good trick.

Was the upside down part caught on one of your other cams? We'd all love to see that video clip!

Also, if you have none of the gadgets shown earlier in the thread, you could punch down a short length of regular cat 5 or 6 into the keystone, and then solder that solid wire to the existing stubs of the stranded stuff in the cable.

Crude and ugly, but it should work.

Ok all soldered and taped up, and works like a charm. Thanks for all the reply.

Nice little tool there Tony.

Pins 4&5 are tied together internally as are pins 7&8. I cannot vouch for about the actual wire functions (ie, Video, etc.. Accept the POE lines are pretty clear. Note that 4&5 are POE+ while 7&8 are POE- This is different than the diagrams shown above. I also found that there are four wires going to the +12v power jack I assume they double up to handle the larger currents.

And for the records where it says that pins 4&5 as well as pins 7&8 are tied together internally, they are tied in the female connector internally so if you go by way of the keystone jack you need to put jumpers, Though I did try to connect to one but the wires are too thin to make connection.
