You cannot use "solder tagstrips" or "terminal strips" (by which I
assume you mean chocblock) with Cat5 cables and stay within spec.
Nowhere near, in fact.

Use the proper accessories for joining Cat5 cable.




It's not cat5 cable! or application.

Then Krone strips are really the best bet. 10 pairs per strip, use as
many strips as you need. The only problem is mounting them - they mount
best in a Krone box or simlar, but there are many sizes to choose from. I
use a 10-strip box as a telephone and auxiliary wiring centre.





Krone strips are too big for the space available unfortunately.
Hence my looking for krone format compact strips. I don't really want to
use ribbon cable connectors, although they would do the job. Krone CAT
couplers can do the job, but are not ideal. When desperate, terminal
blocks are the answer I fear.
