We installed a bridge between to sites on tall towers unfortunetly the access points come with a very short custom built CAT 5 cable that has a round connector on one site and an RJ-45 on the other. We installed a small box at the base of the tower and extended the rest of the way, aprox 100ft, to the computer room and the POE switch with jelly filled CAT 5 cable.
On our initial install we used a female RJ-45 jack with the original RJ-45 plug on the cable and it worked good for a while, then the bridge started to fail and the customer replaced the RJ-45 jack with a plug and used a female to female adapter that is now failing again. Somebody recommended to use gel filled butt connectors but I am not very sure about that or if it is going to have issue with the LAN and POE.
Any recommendation or help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
