Answer» Can one use just two wire's for HOOKING up a computer to a net work connection instead of all eight wires? John8 wires? For hooking one computer up to the net? My internet setup goes like this: Wall Socket>Modem>Router>Computer. 2 Ethernet(RJ45) cables, 1 RJ11 cable. It would help if you took a picture of your existing setup and posted it here... I'm baffled as to why you need so many cables.No I mean the cable itself has 8 conductors would I be able to make it transfer data with just two conductor, kinda like the OLD serial cable's had 9 pin and they would transfer data with only two pin or two wires? JohnAll 8 wires are used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_5_cable Why would you want to do that anyway? Pre-made cat 5 cables are cheap, and custom made cat 5 cables are EASY to make.And I should have ADDED back in the days when you could use two wires the average speed was probably about 9,600 baud.It is possible to get transfer rates up to 3 mega bits per SECOND using plain twisted pair wire over a distance 1200 feet or more. But not with the standard hardware in a personal computer. Standard CAT-5 cable is now very cheap if you buy it in bulk and put the connectors on yourself. Get it at home depot. CAT-5 Also makes good extension cable for telephones. You can put a voice line onto a Ethernet connection and it works fine. If you follow the instructions. I have an extension phone on the CAT-5 cable that goes to my shop. The Ethernet still works well at 100 mega bits per second even while somebody is using the phone.

Pre-made cat 5 cables are cheap, and custom made cat 5 cables are easy to make. Not quite correct. Two pairs (four conductors) are used for 10Mbps/100Mbps ethernet. Gigabit ethernet requires all four pairs. You can use cable economisers to run two 100Mbps connections over a single cat5 cable.That is the information that I have seen is 2 wire's 10m, 4 wire's 100m, and all 8 for 1000m. It seems like to me that inside a house to wire computer for internet 2 wires would be enough if my connection speed is only 1m, it just seem like a waste of wire? John Quote from: John1397 on December 31, 2011, 08:55:22 AM That is the information that I have seen is 2 wire's 10m Are you thinking of 10BASE2 with coax and BNC connectors? The cabling and all components would be more expensive, not to mention that the whole thing is a pig to cable up. 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T is the standard for almost all networking equipment you'll be encountering, from network cards to switches. They both require two pairs, i.e. four conductors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable#Conductors_required
