Ethernet connectors

Anyone know where I can get two of these in Burnley? I found them on EBay but would ideally like to get them tomorrow.

(Sorry for the large image - TinyPic clearly isnt that tiny anymore)

Maybe it's worth giving P3 a ring Cloughy.

Not having a go but surely this is something the Club Shop should be looking at stocking?

These http://www.screwfix.com/p/rj45-connecto ... f-10/12840" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and this http://www.screwfix.com/p/rj45-crimp-tool/30318" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; will do the job properly (assuming you're not planning to repeatedly connect and disconnect it)

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is it and what do you want it for?

Cheeky sod Conyo :lol:

Its to hardwire an ethernet cable to my router box. We dont have ethernet connectors on the end and the crimping tool is expensive - about £30. Router is in another room to the TV so hubby went under the floorboards to hide the wire and wont go under again or Id just buy an ethernet cable with ends :D

Have your heard of powerline adapters? They're probably the best way of connecting a TV to a router without wifi.

They work best with good electrical wiring and plugged directly into the wall.

I believe you get them free with BT boxes (or you used to), if you know someone who has BT TV they might have some.

Checked out your link. A BT one says (certified refurbished). Is this techno speak for 2nd hand but we have checked it?

There's no definition as such but most companies I've ever dealt with, they've been back to the manufacturer or an authorised third party and will be as-new.
