I have a few cables from the cable= company (or perhaps cable modems?) with similar sleeves on the end, which = is where I got the idea. They are opaque plastic, so made by someone else. = I need to examine one in detail, and see if it is integral to the connector= /cable, or if it is a separate piece.=20 Chris Smolinski Black Cat Systems Westminster, MD USA http://www.blackcatsystems.com > On Apr 14, 2018, at 5:26 AM, RussellMc wrote: >=20 > PCT say "out of stock" but may be a good starting point >=20 >=20 > https://www.pctstore.com/Jumper_Sleeve_Easy_to_Use_Connector_Tool_for_TRS= _p/pctjs250.htm >=20 > Amazon $19.99 + shipping per 250! >=20 >=20 > https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0106UKWO2/ref=3Ddp_olp_new_mbc?i= e=3DUTF8&condition=3Dnew >=20 >> From "The General Lee Store" >=20 >=20 > https://www.amazon.com/sp?_encoding=3DUTF8&asin=3DB0106UKWO2&isAmazonFulf= illed=3D0&isCBA=3D&marketplaceID=3DATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=3D&seller=3DAPRLP5= A1HM61V&tab=3D&vasStoreID=3D >=20 >=20 > Customer Service Phone: 208-874-2572 >=20 >=20 >=20 > On 14 April 2018 at 09:56, Chris Smolinski > wrote: >=20 >> Yes, thanks.
