Cat5e splitting help :/

[andrius830]

Hello friends , i would like to ask how to make cat5e cable split in theses Boxes, i can make only work for one, when i combine Yellow/LightYellow/Green/LightGreen.. any ideas guys :/

What we recommend is to get two cables separately for each socket.
But you can try something like this.
W/Orange,Orange,W/Green,null,Green,null,null on both sides for a cable. Then for the next
W/Blue,Blue,W/Brown,null,Brown,null,null


But this is not recommended. Also will not work on CAT6 gigabyte Ethernet.

Something like that?

You can split it, but some things you need to know.

First, 10/100 ethernet uses 4 wires. Gigabit uses all 8. Splitting like this will limit you to a max of 100mbit ethernet.

Second you need to know how ethernet is wired. Ethernet uses pins 1-2-3-6. If you are using a similar junction box on each side which will be joined to networking equipment with a standard patch cable, it doesnt matter which colors you use, but you have to make sure that the same colors goes to the respective pins on each side and only in those pins I mentioned.

This will allow you to run two 100mbit to each outlet using one wire.

A different suggestion? Why not just wire it normally, use gigabit parts, and put a gigabit switch there? Then you have more bandwidth, standardized wiring, and its just easier to run one Gbit line than two 100Mbit lines...

Ethernet is wired by this scheme..
I would go all the way for switch, BUT, our CEO said make less wires, as she doesn't want to see any routers,modems,switch and etc ... and the worst thing is that i wasn't asked how many cables it will need in wall.. so this is only solution right now ;(

"Boss, I don't try to tell you how to run the company. Please don't tell me how to do my job. Do you want it done correctly, or do you want a hackjob that will slow operations down?"

So how exatly i need to pin it guys with my sockets ? ;/

You are going to have to wire both ends of the cable like this which means more jacks on the far end also.

If you look at a single jack you would use the orange pair on the top left connection and the green pair on the bottom right. You would then hook brown and blue to the other jack in similar positions. It think it is hard to tell for sure from the photos.

As mentioned when you do this you will at best get 100m. You may also break the auto mdix stuff which solve the issue of straight vs cross cables so you may in some cases need to use crossover cables depending on where you are plugging things in.

Oh boy, one of those types of bosses. I feel badly for you, as she is an idiot. There is a right way to do it, a hack way to do it, and a wrong way to do it, and from the looks of it you're being forced to do it the hack-way.

So - that being said, here we go in how it's going to be wired in detail. Looking at the plug, you'll see A and B - these are not simple options, they (if I'm reading it right) make reference to the TIA/EIA 568 A/B wiring schematics. The normal way most wires are set up are according to the 568B diagrams, and the small PCB traces go to the appropriate pins which simplifies wiring in that regard.

Under that schema, for 10BaseT and 100BaseTX the TX/RX wires which are utilized are the Orange and Green sets (white-orange/orange and white-green/green) so that is what you'll use on one set. The other color sets that you'll use Blue/Brown you will REMAP for the other socket. In other words, for socket 1, you'll use the normal Orange/Green pairs, for socket 2 you'll assign Blue as Orange, and Brown as Green.

Socket 1 (we will call the socket with the white/grn wires already in socket 1) you'll plug the colors into the same colored holes which correspond with the B wiring. So - in the pictures, the socket that has the white/grn and green wires already in are CORRECT. You will then take the white/orange and orange wires and put them in the corresponding B-assigned color coded slots - which - from what I can see, would be the furthest back two slots on the opposite side.

For socket 2 (the other socket) you will plug in the BROWN wires into the same slots as what you plugged the green wires in on the other side. You will then plug the BLUE wires into the same slots that you plugged the orange wires in on the other side.

At the other end of this wiring hack whereever the wires go to, you will wire those sockets identically to this one. One side will have the orange/green pairs on one socket, the blue/brown pairs on the other with the blue/brown being remapped to the orange/green pins corresponding to the B color coding on the socket.

From this point, regular patch cables should be able to be plugged in and you should have 10/100 ethernet capabilites.

Oh - and when you ever leave this job, please PLEASE go tell that boss that she's an ignorant, shortsighted, penny pinching, hack forcing, superficial MORON for making you do this in a less than optimal way.

Best way as I said would be wired gigabit with a simple switch. They're tiny, unobtrusive, cheap, and much faster than what you're going to wind up having.
