How many CAT5 Ethernet cables can I get into one of these?

The dimensions of the part that carries the cable are approximately 1 inch wide by 1.5 inches high.

I never checked buy i bet you can get 8 easily. I like this a lot - i used screws to attach it to the back of my desk at work to tame my wires. Works great. I used screws rather than the adhesive so I can take it with me when I get moved to another room.

Not sure exactly what you're asking. I assume that have 2 devices that require an internet connection and a single router that has one RJ45 input from a modem. The router must have at least 2 output ports, 1 for each of the internet-requiring devices. Connect 1 Cat5 cable from each router output port to the side of the splitter that has 2 receptacles. On the other side of the splitter connect another Cat5 cable. The other end of the latter cable connects to the single receptacle side of the second splitter. Then connect 2 Cat5 cables to the other side of the second splitter, and connect each of these to the ethernet ports of the 2 devices that you want to share the internet connection. The kit only supplies 3 short cables so you will need a fourth in addition to the one that connects the 2 splitters. Hope this answers your question.

Hi. Yes, you can install multiple switches on a router to have additional Ethernet ports.

It is 5 Ethernet port total, but subtract one port for input and the remaining 4 ports for outputs. I hope that answers your question.

yes, you can use CAT5 for network printing or printer cable to laptop/PC usb

I was able to fit 3, cat5 ethernet cables inside. I think 1 more would have fit ok.BUT only with the cables laying side by side if 2 cables cross then the lid doesnt have clearance to snap closed very well until the cables are better situated. I think maybe a round hdmi cable would be about the largest thing that would fit and maybe 2 cat5 cables could fit with it.

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.

These cables are crap, to put it succintly. They are not cat5. I dont know if they can handle POE (Power Over Ethernet) but i wouldnt count on it.

Looking at it, it appears to support all eight conductors, and have only used it with CAT5 cable with good results over my network and internet. Not much help beyond that, sorry...

Not on the same physical cable - Cat5/6 cables have 4 pairs of wires. Normal communication only uses 2 pairs. These splitters/combiners are effectively using the 2 unused pairs in addition to the normal 2 pairs.

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

Yes the cable will for sure fit. You could get 1 (or maybe 2) cat5 cables to fit. The connector plugs might not fit through the tube, but that doesn't matter since the tubes are open on the sides to allow for any cable to slip through the side instead of feeding it through the ends.

There are two connectors, each with a cat5 socket and a coax. I assume you'd hook one of your ip cams to the cat5 socket, run a coax cable to your machine, and then use the other connector to connect to your computer. Thus, two connectors per ip device. I don't know if Power over Ethernet is supported.

No, unless you have (1) a router that can generate two free LAN lines that can be fed to the other end of the Ethernet jack, and (2) cable wiring that is CAT5 or newer (true for all new homes/installations). A cheaper solution might be to use a switch such as TRENDnet TE100-S5 5-Port Ethernet Switch (5 x 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX RJ-45 Ports) that costs only $11.99 and will give you 4 ports instead of two.

Yes, it supports all 8 conductors in a cat5 cable. There are 4 conductors that punch down on the top and 4 conductors that punch down on the bottom. Same thing occurs on the other side of the junction box thus joining two separate cat5 runs.

Hi Donald, Cat 5e cable should be capable of supporting 1000BASE-T (Gigabit) connections. Unless you've got incredibly easy runs to replace and money to burn, you'd probably be better off keeping the existing cable.

Wish I could tell you. I purchased this item because my onboard ethernet wasn't working right (my Windows machine still kept trying to use the old port instead of the new one, so I had to jump through some hoops to get it to ignore the built-in one). It seems very likely running two ethernet ports is possible though; pro-level Macintoshes come standard with two, after all. This ethernet card worked great for me, by the way, although--unlike reports from others--I had to install drivers for it. Good luck!
