Can I use my normal Cat 5e cable with this to crossover?
801403
Yes. I do it all the time with my Cat 5e straight through cable to quickly transfer files between computers.

I used a standard ethernet cable. Plugging one of these to each end allowed a crossover between two computers. I was creating an in-home LAN.

I think for computer to computer connections you need a cat5e "crossover" cable. This one is called a "patch" and is used for modem to computer connections. The wiring is different, so make sure you search for "crossover" cable. There is also a USB Easy Transfer Cable that can be used. These, though, are more expensive than the crossover cables.

Should work fine. The only difference is cat5e will work up to 1 gigabit system and cat6 will work up to 10 gigabit system. They both connect the same way.

Hello Alfreda Robb,This cable will work. Cat6 is backwards compatible with Cat5e.Please let me know if you have any further questions.Thank you,Taylor W.VIVO

If you use a Crossover, then you'll need a crossover on the other end as well. it runs over cat6 but is not being transferred as Ethernet. On each end the pin order must match.

It would be pretty really tight. i wouldn't reccomend it. You should probably use an hdmi over cat5/6 extender if you wanted to go through conduit.

Yes only a rj45. Works well with all cat 5, 5e, or 6. Remember the interface is only 10/100 so using cat 6 is not needed.

Yes you should be able to do that. Just imagine your electrical wiring as a very long ethernet cable once you have hooked up the powerline adapters.

No, it's not because you would need access to both ends of the cable that you're trying to use plus an extra port back at the switch end. You might be able to use a small 4 or 5 port switch but that depends on the network you're trying to plug into. Some places won't recognize a 'foreign computer' that is not part of their network.

Yes you can use cat5 with them. They are rated for cat6 though so you can go higher with your cabling.

Yes. This switch acts like a normal Ethernet switch (all of the ports are "connected" to each other so devices connected to any port can "talk" to each other"). The only difference is that power is injected onto some otherwise unused wires (10/100 Ethernet doesn't use every wire in a standard Cat-5e cable) on the ports labeled "PoE". This means you could connect, for example, a PoE camera on one of the PoE ports, and connect a PC, a printer, and a router to the non-PoE ports. The PC will see the camera, the printer and the router, and the camera will also receive its power over the Ethernet cable, so it doesn't need a separate power plug. Yes.

yeah i'm not understanding the question you are asking as well, seems like you want to plug in two different devices using ethernet??? if so i would use a switch like this: TRENDnet 5-Port Unmanaged 10/100 Mbps GREENnet Ethernet Desktop Plastic Housing Switch, TE100-S5 i'm really not sure what your asking about
1414414
no it will not you have to use a toshiba adapter or an ethernet (cat 5) cable.

The unit comes with a power injector unit that sends over cat 5. I believe the cable can be extended with coupler.

The short answer is YES. Cat 6 ethernet cable is supported by this switch as both the switch and Cat 6 cabling are capable of gigabit transfers. Either shielded or unshielded Cat 6 should work for you.I have a 5-port version of this switch and I routinely used Cat 6A shielded cables with it. My understanding is that the ports are plastic, but the switch can handle Cat 6 cables just fine. Any shielding on the cabling can be grounded at the opposite end from the switch, so it will still support grounding and shielding if that is what you want to do.I almost bought a second one of this style switch, but I decided that one was enough for my needs. I would buy more if I needed it.Good luck. The short answer is YES. Cat 6 ethernet cable is supported by this switch as both the switch and Cat 6 cabling are capable of gigabit transfers.

Crossing a crossover cable will make a straight cable, aka patch cable. Similarly, if you use two crossover adapters, you will undo your crossover and have a straight through. Just use one on either end--it doesn't matter which end.

You can use either grade of cable. I have CAT5e connecting my modem to my router and used CAT6 cables when connecting from the router to the Linksys 5-port unit. The modem-router connections are much older than the 5-port, which was done this spring.
