Thanks for the explanation, Don!

I guess I wasn't quite clear expressing what my concern was, and as usual got the terminology wrong because I'm not an expert on the subject. What I meant was that the wiring method had a bunch of RJ connectors in series. The signal has to go thru all the connectors in the chain before it gets to the end. If any fail, the signal won't get through to those past it. Is my understanding correct?
