You're in luck, Ethernet cable comes already pullable and damp resistant
and so there's no need to join any together to achieve that :-)

Seriously, why not get http://tinyurl.com/njwv6g and sleep well at night?

If there was a real need to join cables I would first just tie knots in
them in order to pull the cables, and then when the joins were in place use
IDC connectors such as Scotchlok etc. I can think of no well engineered
solution to make cable joins that are both pullable and reliable, but maybe
someone else knows a better answer.

No idea. But Durite seems to specialise in automobile electrical parts and
not communications. Anyway ask them http://durite.co.uk/Contact.aspx

People keep answering your computer questions. A lot you know the
answer to already from your replies, some you don't want to take advice
from. So it is difficult to know exactly what you are after. Are you
testing a newsreader, timing how long it takes for people to stop
replying or just after an argument and pretending you know nothing
about computers? If you're just bored go to a forum or chatline,
if you can't sleep go and see your doctor.
Why don't you try Google! It will keep you amused for hours and
also answer every single question you ask here.
If you get bored, go and look at uncoverreality.com or something.
Do what you like with your computer stuff, tell us what you have
broken - it will be far more entertaining and will put others off.

Ignore it, it's a lower life form with no redeeming qualities.

Geoff, next time someone responds to you like that and before wasting
time responding, do some googling on their previous trolling.

The tiscali idiot's actions of a psychopath :-(
