if I currently have an existing cat5 wire run for telephone, will I be able to use the single cat5 wire for both phone and (extended) internet?

No. You could run internet to a hub and install a VOIP Phone like Vonage that runs over the internet

Yes, but you'll only get gigabit speeds (i.e. Cat5e speeds), and the shielding will not be grounded.

One RJ45 with internet in and through USB 2.0 with adapter to RJ45 out to another device.So with one Cat 5 cable you can feed 2 devices.Works perfect

No.To do what you want you to accomplish,you to have install the switch in series with the "main" output phone line from the modem.

No this won't work. You would need 2 of these to go to a router/switch if you wanted to share a single Ethernet line.

I use cat6 at my setup as it is already wired throughout the house. Cat5 should be fine also.

No. This product does not allow you to connect two devices to a single active network cable / port - you need a hub or switch for that. It simply allows you to send *two* separate wired connections through a *single* network cable. Cat5/6 cables have 8 wires inside them (4 pairs). A normal connection only uses 2 pairs which leaves the other 2 pairs left unconnected - this is just how it is, worldwide. This device (which only works as a *pair* of devices - they will not work as singles) allow you to send two switch port outputs down a single cable, and then split them back out again at the other end. You normally only need to do this (and use this product) in structured wiring situations where you just need 1 extra wired network connection and you dont want to go through the time and expense of running a completely new wire (the wiring might not be easily accessible or the cost maybe prohibitive). Network splitters like this one do not work like power adapters for your 110V/220V supply.

I am sure what you mean by copper. However cat5 cable length is recommended to be 300 ft and lengths beyond specification and may not work reliably. Consider setting up a wireless link between the buildings.

No. Cat5e/6/7 use more than one pair of wires for transmitting and receiving data, coax is only two conductors. This is a passive device and you would need a way to convert the signal from one form to another for it to work for internet over coax, which is usually called MoCA. Google 'MoCA' and you'll find a lot of info. Actiontec, TrendNet and other companies make these. You may also be able to use an Ethernet over Powerline device.

1. Yes, you'll need one for each end of the wire you are testing. 2. Assuming that the CAT5 tester works the same way (as a continuity tester) then it should work.

Hi, there. Yes, there is one port for a USB or Cat 5 cable to connect to a land line internet! Enjoy! And Good Luck.

Yes, any CAT5 cable should be compatible with that setup. CAT5, CAT5e and CAT6 are all basically the same thing, just added speed and functionality.

Yes. This splitter allows one Cat5 cable to be used as if it were two. Keep in mind, when you split the cable, you will only be able to connect devices at 100Mbps. You will not get 1Gbps anymore.

William, it allows you to take one LAN RJ45 Ethernet cable run and turn it into two. Only requirement is that all 8 wires (4 Pairs) are terminated at each end of the jacks. I used these to split a customers VOIP and Data into two separate networks with two separate internet points. Hope this helps

I believe the only difference between CAT5 and CAT6 is the cable. The connector does plug on both sides so you don't have to wire it.

Cat5 connected directly to the router/switch. It also has a "computer" port that you can plug the cat5 from your computer into, this allows the phone and computer to share a single wall cat5 port.

You can plug into any "live" CAT5 plug that is eventually connected back to the router.
