Where can I find a female RJ45 connector that can be crimped to another cable rather than being soldered to a PCB or installed in a wall or plastic enclosure?

Something like this: http://www.pcpartscollection.com/rjcrmatofeca.html

While we're at it, I'd love to find female RJ11 and RJ12 connectors with the same property.

One solution is a female-to-female coupler:

@msutherl I wouldn't exactly call what you found in the local electronics store a crimp connector. Technically that would be a punch down connection. This wouldn't have the same strain resistance that true crimped on connector would have.

'Cruch' connector, ok. I agree, and a crimp connector would be preferable to the punch connector. – msutherl May 2 '10 at 6:02

Found this at my local electronics store. RJ45 female on one side, crimps on the other. Now, online?
