Can I run an ethernet cable from a switch and use this adapter to connect a standard corded phone?

The answer is no if you expect to get a dial tone by just adding the adapter to an Ethernet cable from a switch. This adapter kit lets you use a single Ethernet cable like Cat5e to establish an Ethernet connection and phone line connection, but You need to have telephone service first.

There is a CAT5E ethernet port, but not DSL phone. If you are using a phone line in 2012 anyway... You NEED to upgrade. Or tell your boss (if for a business) you need to rethink your network connection methods. I have one of these and love it. You might be able to find an adapter. for a PCIe(xpress) port fairly cheap. This is the only one I found here: http://www.amazon.com/Efficient-Networks-161-3060-001-Internal-Modem/dp/B00006LUJU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373500700&sr=8-1&keywords=PCIe+DSL

no. you need an ethernet cable. this is a telephone cable to use in either a telephone or a fax modem (the old kind that no one uses anymore)

yes you can. most of the ip phones can be powered by a poe switch/ap or router.

I'm not sure that I understand what you are trying to do. This phone adapter works through the Internet, not the regular phone line. I plug mine into my Internet router and of course I plug the power supply into the power outlet. I had to program it with help from my ringcentral.com Internet phone provider's system to get it to interlock with their phone system that I pay for. Then, I was able to plug my regular home phone into this ATA adapter and use it like a regular phone system connected to my Internet phone service provider system.

Maybe, I used the router to connect a IP phone via a pbx (freeswitch) to an analog phone line It basically converts an Ethernet connection rj-45 to a 2 wire phone connector rj-11.

Generally, phone wiring is not Cat5. If you are using an IP phone, then it's possible this cable would work. However, I would not recommend this cable, it is of poor quality and is not actually Cat5. Cat5 has twisted pair wires inside for noise suppression and to increase signal integrity, but the wires in this cable are not twisted. I would not buy this cable again.

You can't. There is only one Ethernet jack on this phone. What you need is something like the Cisco SPA525 or 514 or 504 or other model that act as a switch. Those phones will allow you to connect to phone to the Ethernet and then your computer to the phone. For all these phones you will need a power adapter because I seriously doubt the hotel will have PoE ports.

You need to use both the Nano adapter and the 4-port adapter to utilize this product. Here is how it works:Plug in the nano adapter (the white box) into your wall outlet (NOT a surge protector), connect your ethernet cable from the nano adapter (white box) to your router. Then plug your other 4-port adapter (the black box) into another wall outlet. Then connect a new ethernet cable from the 4-port adapter (black box) to your internet phone. The connection is now complete, and you can use your internet phone.

No , you need to run a sepret Ethernet cord . One of the best cords is a cat 6

Yes; however, it depends on the orientation of the plug. In my case, the ground is on top so I had to invert the adapter with the Ethernet cable plugging in from the top. I had to get creative but it is doable.

As with many things, the weakest link is the limiting factor. Unless you know that the telephone company's cabling is brand new all the way to the switch, there is no reason to use anything better than generic telephone cabling. If the telephone company copper is substandard using higher grade wire from your location to them isn't going to change that. If you want a standard to use, try CAT 3 cabling.

No you can run the PCs directly to the ethernet switch and plug the access point into an open port configure it and you're all set.

I don't see why not, its just sending a signal down the wire. It does not know the difference between Ethernet, or telephone drop wire or anything else.

This coupling does not fit an ethernet cable. This coupling if for a phone line only. However they do sell one for an ethernet use.

No, a standard phone jack uses 2-4 wires. An ethernet connection uses all 8.

Well, I am using it to cat 6 plugs and cables and works but i did not fully test it on gigabit switch, but for phone links i guess this will work.
