How To Use A Single Cat5 Cable For Both Phone and Ethernet 

Powerline network or wireless backhaul. You can also bury CAT whatever or even fiber depending on the run. I don't know your needs but I'd _try_ powerline first. Wireless backhaul would be a very distant last resort for me, but could be just the ticket for you. One example (I've used an older version successfully): www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/powerline/tl-pa9020p-kit/ They also have models with an access point or wifi extender built in. Never used those though. Oh. Forgot. Performance or whether or not they will even work at all is dictated by your wiring. I've had adjacent plugs not see each other & I've also had one instance of being able to share internet with the neighbors. The various manufacturers give you an idea of scenario's where they will/won't work, but I've found you just have to try them to find out. All of the recent ones have security & encryption so you can set up separate networks/links & also to keep neighbor's off your network if the signal does indeed make it that far. Separate network use scenario: I was already using AV1200 powerline for a situation like yours when I switched from DSL to cable. Satellite was occupying existing coax & the A-holes refused to pull some new coax on what was a very easy run & couldn't have put the cable modem in a worse location if they tried compared to where I needed it for my WiFi router. I couldn't do it myself b/c I had just undergone spinal fusion so I picked up two additional single port AV1200 powerline adapters, "locked" them together, and used that as my modem/router uplink. But powerline bandwidth is shared & you have no say in how it's split beyond some very simple QoS settings. So it cut my original powerline link from 600Mbps to a fairly solid 225Mbps & the router uplink hovered around 200-250Mbps. Which sucked b/c I only had 60Mbps internet at the time & easily saturated the link on the LAN. But it was still a God send for me at the time, though. So anyway, yeah. Might be perfect, might be worthless, and might be just good enough for you.

You do need to do that. You will otherwise get 100 Mbit instead of 1 Gbit and that doesn't cut it anymore, way too slow. There is twisted pair cables with 6 pairs inside, allowing you to split it in the end for phone and ethernet, so you only need to run one cable. Also don't do the mistake I did the first time when I laid ethernet cable next to a power cable in the same pipe, that lead to massive packet loss and 600 Mbit instead of 1 gbit... Keep them separated as far as possible to minimize interference!

i know Im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me

@Maddux Clayton Instablaster :)

@Zavier Luciano i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Zavier Luciano It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out !

@Maddux Clayton No problem xD

Decide whether you really *need* the dial tone everywhere and repurpose some of the Cat5 strictly for networking. As the video highlights (Inthink), running both gives you only 4 wires for Ethernet, so the line will be limited to Fast Ethernet’s 100 Mbps; dedicating all 8 wires of the line to Ethernet should get you 1000 Mbps.

Yeah With 568 B the Green pairs are Spilt & A the Orange pairs are split if you're making patch cables has it backwards I think In England they use 568A

If you want two phones using the same line, just get a phone splitter. As ONE example (likely overkill): www.amazon.com/CIMPLE-CO-Telephone-Separator-Conductor/dp/B01N4S8WG4/

Hi! You sure can -- cat5e will work for lots of different applications including Plain Old Telephone Service ("POTS").

Yes, I’m looking for the same external/adapter alternative for quickly altering the purpose of a given line without rewiring the cable, already terminated on both ends to TJ45 jacks using the T558A standard. I’ve found a few options on Amazon: * www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09MHX1VLT/ * www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08L21DYWP/ Would love to see a combo phone/FastE adapter, but that’s probably too specific. Can probably find the parts to DIY it, though it likely won’t be as clean as a manufactured item.

Here’s one… www.lanshack.com/QuickTreX-VoiceData-Splitter-Pair-P1564

Hi! you just need a simple switch to take 1 cat 5 line and connect up to 4 other devices, something like this: amzn.to/2wzEF6O -- there are more expensive switches but for home use something like this should be fine.

Hi! phone and fax use the same POTS (Plain old telephone service) so they only need 1 pair per line. So phone/fax would work as I have it in the video if it shares the same phone line (e.g. line 1). That said, some setups use 2 lines, one for fax and one for phone. If that is the case, you use 2 pairs as I have also shown. Let me know if that helps clarify things... @4:41 I show the wire coloring for line 1 and line 2. Also, depending on the fax machine, it can select which line it uses (1 vs 2)

No, you will be limited to 10/100 also, PoE will not be supported.

No, but you can get a 12 core (6 pair) cable to run, so you could have 1 gbit and phone! And use CAT 6, isnt much more expensive nowadays.

what wires for this?@@e30clew

That is correct.

It wont run 1000baseT, but it will run VoIP phones no problem.

Sure does!

@@Mavromatic no cross talk? and if there is, is it from phone to data or data to phone? thanks again.

@@sanclementetrojan None. I have had no issues with cross-talk and network and phone both work great.

5e is just Faster everything else is the same

I think what you’re saying applies to using a Cat5e+ line wired to T568A for a phone connection. The video really only adheres to the standard for the Fast Ethernet RJ45 connection; as explained, for the phone jack, the brown wires are connected per the orange color mappings on the RJ11/RJ25 jack.

+John Douglas (MINDovrX) Thanks John!

Hi! I think this is one: www.dualcomm.com/products/rj45-rj11-splitter-cable-sharing-kit-for-ethernet-and-phone-lines

Just what I was imagining, but that price is a DIY inspiration.

Nope... should work as is if your wiring isn’t crossed.

Thanks!

Keep the twist close to the actual plu, got it.

Hi! That typically isn't an issue given the design of the cable (twisted pairs, google it for more details) resists noise. As one commenter noted, it's better to keep the twists tighter to the connection -- that provides better noise/signal integrity.

Keep the twist 🪢 up until the terminal for faster speeds shielded cable is to block electromagnetic flux from other electrical devices Cat6 is just as fast as Single Mode Fiber

+Chicagoman36 Hi, it was available when I was building as a bundle like this: www.smarthome.com/2-cat-5e-2-rg6-quad-2-fiber-jacket.html

Thanks That Ones Unavailable Now, Remodeling my place want to put it all in before i sheet rock!!! Prepaired for anything everything that might come up :)

Chicagoman36 this place has similar: www.primuscable.com/store/p/8323-Bundled-Cable-2x-CAT5E-2x-RG6-1x-2-Fiber-Yellow-PVC-500ft.aspx.

Thank You Very Much!!!
