    Default Cat 6a jointing.

    Hi, what's the best way to joint a cat 6 cable ?
    Was thinking of soldering ?

    The joint will be hidden under the carpet edge.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply.

    I cannot replace it as it passes through 2 brick walls. The rj45 ends where terminated after the cable was passed through the 10mm holes in the brickwork.

    That's why I was thinking of soldering.
