I did think that, but didn’t want to embarrass myselfNo one mentioned Wago's?
Just remember, when connecting the cable to any connection box, keep the cables twisted for as long as possible.
Is that the ‘infamous jelly crimp’ ?
Why is that?

rj45 connector on the end of the existing cable and on the end of the new cable. rj45 coupler. thats the right way to do it.

Right way according to who? Is this just your opinion or is there something else to support the statement?
That method looks quite shoddy and in my experience isn't the most reliable or easy to get right.
They are called East Connects,This is a very interesting thread, so thanks to all you knowledgeable contributors for your input!
I recently had my introduction to making patch cables, so i could have a wall-mounted socket thingy with a patch cable from there to my modem/router thingy.
A pal said to get a pass-thru type of crimper, which i did, and that made the job much simpler when terminating the connectors...I could strip the cable way too long, which made it easier to get those 8 pesky wires in the right positions, then simply snug the cable up tight so the untwisted strands and the outer sheath slipped way up into the connector, and the crimper just cut off the excess. My eyesight is such that wearing a dentists loupe was extremely useful...wouldn't want to do it every day, to be honest.
Most Krone tools are for phone cables, network cables are a tad thicker and harder to punch down and to cut, I use a Fluke D914.I have used several of the inline couplers recommended earlier by Tony Mitchell with no problems. Just use a decent punch-down tool (e.g. Krone) and for consistency use the same pin-outs (Type A or B) as used by the end points - almost certainly Type B.
