I know the right answer is to run new cables all the way from the network cupboard to the new location, but that is going to be a huge PITA. The office is also likely to be reconfigured again in a year or two (this time with walls shifting), so everything I do now is only temporary anyway.
I was hoping for some kind of two sided punch-down style connector I could use to join the existing run with the new extension, however all I can find are female-female jacks to join patch cables.
My current thinking is to leave the existing keystone ethernet jacks where they are (albeit shifting them inside the wall) and crimping a male ethernet plug on to the additional run of cable to extend it to where it needs to be.
I could just get longer patch cables, but they'd need to run around a big loop to be out of the path of foot traffic. It is easy enough to hide the additional runs in-wall so I'm looking at that solution first.
Just checking to see whether there are better solutions?
