[ATTACHMENT deleted by admin]There's really no such thing as an RJ-45 splitter.  Is this a repeater?Quantos, I've seen these used to act as a coupler/decoupler over a run of cat 5 - e.g data over two pairs, digital PBX over the other two.  Gura, you'd need two of these; one at each END of the run of cabling.

E.g.:

Code: [Select]PC1 -----                                      ------|----------|
         \                                    /      |          |
          >----------------------------------<       |  Router  |
         /                                    \      |          |
PC2 -----                                      ------|----------|

This assumes that the cable is in good condition and all four pairs are intact.hummm sort of looks like this....

How many leads are in that thing?  If it's four, it's RJ11, and it's for voice, or "standard" phone lines.  OK, I looked it up, and it exists, so I learned something (again!).

So, the deal is, you can use the splitters as a way to "MULTIPLEX" two sets of signals over a single run of ethernet cable?

The splitter does not act as a hub!  That's why both NIC's dropped out when you tried to use it. Quote from: Aegis on July 21, 2009, 01:02:18 PM
