CAT 5 Underground Splice

[jmellc]

I'm having to repair a CAT 5 underground cable our GC dug up. I have splice kits ordered, but don't know what kind of connectors they have. . I haven't done a CAT 5 UG splice before. Has anyone here had good or bad luck with any particular methods or kits? Just trying to think ahead a few days. This is standard 4 pair with WP jacket & inner lead wrap.

3m has a good one. Its just snap on connectors filled with gel and pressed into a tube of silicon like the sprinkler connectors.
The important thing is the bond. Make sure to bond the armor. You will probably need 2 kits and a piece of cable.
