Hi guys so new user here not much of an expert and need some help…
I have just run a 100 meter length of cat6 shielded cable from my fathers summer house down to his main gates at his property as he wants internet down by the gates to use for security system…
The cable that was run was a cat6 shielded cable with 8 copper cores (quite thick cores)
I bought the rj45 terminals to terminate each end of the cable but the cores on the cat6 cable all seem
To be too thick with the shielded housing to go inside the rj45 terminals to crimp..
I am assuming the rj45 terminals i have bought are just for standard indoor ethernet cabling so i have two questions
1) can anyone point me to the correct rj45 terminals or names of for me to purchase the correct terminals
2) seen as we don't need any high internet speeds to be run through this cat6 cable would i be able to cut the ends off a standard ethernet cable say about 4 inches from the rj45 connector strip back the wire and solder to my cat6 to technically then terminate both ends..
basically doing this
CERRXIAN RJ45 Male to 8 Pin Screw Block Terminal solderless Cable,30CM Cat7 Cat6 Cat5 Cat5e Ethernet solderless Extension Cable https://amzn.eu/d/bDrNL3a
But instead of screwing each end i solder each end..
Sorry if this all sounds a bit stupid im not very experienced with networking like this and looking for a simple fix..
The cat6 cable has already been buried into the ground so we need to use this cable now and terminate each end..
The plan at the gate end is to then plug into an outdoor ethernet to wifi extender to wirelessly have internet at gates for ring bell and so on
