[Asterisk-Users] cat 5 'joiner'? (polycom 500 problem)

[Steve Ringwald]

What you are looking for is a cat5 coupler. Try searching with google, 
or going to a local electronics store. They shouldn't cost more than 
$5-10...

Here is an example:

As far as signal quality, they shouldn't affect it *that* much, but they 
can introduce noise on a line versus a single cable of the desired length.
