Individually, that cable came from cat 5e 8 core wire, but connected individually, previously we only use western union and tape, but that joint technique isn't really goodHow are the conductors arranged? Are the individual or in a multi conductor cable? Are the exposed to the outdoors? Are they in a cabinet?
Well, it would help to know how they are being used. Do they have to stand up to the weather? Are they in a cabinet? Are they bundled in any way?Individually, that cable came from cat 5e 8 core wire, but connected individually, previously we only use western union and tape, but that joint technique isn't really good
Yes... in one side I use RJ45 and cat5e, but cat5e is connected to 28awg wire individually, I was think to make controller redesign with RJ45 port inside instead individually 28 awg female ports, but now that think isn't possible (because deadline time and cost)What I might do is to put RJ45 connectors on both ends and use a coupler. Make sure you get the RJ45 connectors for both solid and stranded or the one used for both.

A 110 punch down block https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/110_block might work, but I don't know if it;s OK for stranded wires.
I'd say solder and adhesive heat shrink but 200 connections, no.
Is in the cabinet, and only small cabinet, about 30 cm x 40 cm x 15 cm (L x W x H)Well, it would help to know how they are being used. Do they have to stand up to the weather? Are they in a cabinet? Are they bundled in any way?

Also maintenance is very hardIs in the cabinet, and only small cabinet, about 30 cm x 40 cm x 15 cm (L x W x H)
Controller I/O ports is AWG 28 female ports, I think to redesign them to use RJ45 female, but I can't do that nowbecause...?
Do you have reference for PCB printing ? with industrial grade but not very expensive ?There is a proper tool for crimping: https://www.amazon.com/Jonard-JIC-891-Connector-Crimping-Cutter/dp/B006962DPO/
I don't but many people here have a lot of experience with fabricators. I have decided in JLCPCB but I haven't been able to test them yet.Do you have reference for PCB printing ? with industrial grade but not very expensive ?
Modular connectors have versions for solid and stranded cable. Get the right one.It is good idea to connect 28 awg flexible wire to RJ45 connector ?
Ok... If I can use RJ45 with flexible cable I don't really need cable joint anymore, but previously I was try that and result isn't good...Modular connectors have versions for solid and stranded cable. Get the right one.
Research "modular connectors for stranded wire".Ok... If I can use RJ45 with flexible cable I don't really need cable joint anymore, but previously I was try that and result isn't good...
