Hi Vic,
In my experience the actual outer sheath isn't so important. The
important thing is to have clean connections and maintain the twists.
Without this, you will introduce interference; which normally means that
you need to 'fiddle' with the join to make it work.
If you cut, and solder the ends together; with the twists maintained -
it *should* work. However, if you already have an RJ45 connection on
the end; i would be inclined to use an in-line coupler*. It is quite
surprising how vulnerable cat5 is to interference.
