[@iansmith3930]

Be careful ... most RJ45 connectors have a single point to pierce the wire and are intended to be used with stranded patch cable (the single point pushes through the middle of the strands). The ethernet cable for use between wall boxes is single strand and intended to be terminated into a fork in the wall box. Terminating the single strand cable into a standard RJ45 crimp can produce a very poor and unreliable connection.

can the split work for one pair sending signal into one direction and the other pair split to sent to another direction...or will this introduce noise?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Those two split cables work absolutely independent. It's like if you have two cables that are twisted around each other. Maximum speed for a cable with 4 wires is 100Mbps.

[@eddiesuertefelipe1532]

[@dimitrivanwichelen556]

By doing this you can have problems like higher MS ping, crosstalk, limited speed to max 100 Mbps and not able to use as POE adapter. Also your color code disrespect creates future problems if you have multiple devices like an alarm or camera or other ict lan devices. Anyway it is a solution that works well for small use with its limits. The first 2 pairs are for LAN the other 2 pairs are not used. So in a traditional CAT cable you have the option of use 2lan, 1lan and phone or 1lan and 2 phones. Or use of backup line from other source Incase you have 2 isp providers. But keep in mind to make a drawing of the colors and place you used them so it’s easy in the future when need changes to identify and upgrade if needed.

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Since two sets of different pairs of wires are used for 100Mbps networks, there will be no interference between the two networks, ensuring their proper functioning.

[@metalillness5951]

Thank you. I have a question. If you are only using two pairs for each connection at the devices, then why do you need to split them on the end that goes to the router? Is there some voo doo inside the router or switch that won't allow 2 being used on one port?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

One Ethernet port provides connection only for one device. If it's 100MBps network then it uses only 4 wires other 4 pins inside of a switch/router don't even connected. So we need to split wires on both ends in order properly wire them. You just imagine that you use two independent Ethernet cables with 4 wires inside. But in our case we have one cable with 8 wires inside.

Tried this with about 30metres of cable. The Orange and Green cables connection works but the blue and brown wires connection is not working. Is this an issue of cable length or just bad krimping? Ever tried it with a long cable. Thought I had found a great solution. Running one cable instead of two.

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Are you sure that you organized those wires in the right order? You need to wire the brown wires like the orange ones and blue wires like the green ones.

[@cosmicdude7721]

@M. Gengo how did it work out for you genius?

[@NathanielBlack12]

@@ElectronicsComputers There is no need to put striped-blue on pin 1 and solid-blue on pin 2. IMO you should try to resemble the T568A and T568B standards as much as possible when splitting. In both of those standards, striped-blue is on pin 5 (to the right) and solid-blue is on pin 4 (to the left). Therefore, IMO it's best to keep striped-blue to the right (pin 2) and solid-blue to the left (pin 1), when splitting. The pre-made splitters I bought online had striped-blue to the right and solid-blue to the left, but the splitters I made myself a while ago had the opposite. Only when I did a continuity test on a cable run that had a pre-made splitter on one end and a self-made splitter on the other end, that I realized I had cross-over on the blue pair, which should be avoided.

[@NathanielBlack12]

@@cosmicdude7721 it should work if you do it correctly. I do believe that combining two 100Mbps links into a single cable (via this splitting method) does increase the risk of crosstalk issues because you are essentially placing the conductors of each link much closer together than they would be if they were just separate cables bundled close together. Because of this, I try to use Cat6 cable for my split runs as Cat6 typically has a plastic separator running through the cable that keeps the pairs further away from each other than they are in a Cat5e cable. Cat6 cable also has other design elements that reduce crosstalk. That being said, during testing I've simultaneously viewed the main streams (16Mbps each) of 2 Hikvision cameras that were combined/split over 120 metres (so 20% over the length limit) of Cat5e cable. I noticed no issues with either video stream during that test. The 120 metres was actually made of 4x 30 metre patch cables (24 AWG stranded pure copper) coupled together. Each camera was also being powered by PoE over that 120 metre run, during that test.

[@cosmicdude7721]

I should mention that this eventually worked. Not sure what I was missing before. Pretty neat trick which has saved me a lot of time and effort since I first learned about this method.

[@Daytona831]

Thank you for the video!!! Works perfectly 👌🏽

[@ElectronicsComputers]

You're welcome!

[@coleBlap]

Would it be possible for a T shaped cable?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

It depends on how you see it. If you have one Ethernet outlet in your room and you want to connect for example your PC and Xbox, then you can make a T cable with one end that goes to the wall and the split side goes to both devices. So for your room it kind of looks like a T cable. But in reality, the cable that goes from your outlet to your basement or whatever and then connects to a switch should also be split and have two connectors. Because one Ethernet port can only support one device. And one Ethernet connection requires only 4 wires and your cable has eight. So we just use the other four wires to connect another device with the same cable.

[@corriemusich6463]

What speed do you get this way? DO you get the same if you have 200mbps or 600mbps do they get the same or is it split?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Using only 4 wires of an Ethernet cable provides a maximum speed of 100Mbps. To achieve higher speeds, all 8 wires must be used for a single connection.

[@richnvick9281]

This allows u to use both at the same time?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

You need to attach an RJ45 connector to the blue and brown pairs at the router side (so now you can connect two connectors to your router) and then do the same thing in your room. In case if you have an Ethernet wall outlet in your room then you need to divide the cable into two lines that you plug into the outlet.

You want to connect 2 devices via one cable + PoE??? No, it's not gonna work because those blue and brown pairs can be only used for a second device or for PoE.

[@NathanielBlack12]

For most applications, PoE will still work, you just have to make sure that the device supplying the PoE (switch, NVR, injector, etc) supports PoE "Mode A". See the "10/100 mode A, mixed DC & data" section of the table at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_over_Ethernet#Pinouts also see my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnrRq6Fsi8-Ama8 where I test that PoE works.

[@mjcato1]

Say my internet is 30mbps will spitting make each port have 30mpbs? and if so if I connect 2 ports to 1 device shouldn't that device receive 60mpbs?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

no it doesn't work that way. You have to divide your bandwidth (30Mbps) by the number of devices connected to your switch or router. But again even in this case it doesn't work that way. Because on PC can draw more data from the internet than the other one. So the speed may vary between all PCs but the whole bandwidth will be not higher than your maximum 30Mbps.

[@dimitrivanwichelen556]

This won’t be possible I’m afraid, as gigabit need all pairs be used following by the color standards. The best will be in you case to bind it at the router true load balance, then go to a Ubnt USG to control your network and from the end go further by connecting a switch. So from the switch you can go in different Gigabit lines on method is by using VLAN true the USG And switch. If want more info or proposal drop me a line at [e-mail]

is it necessary to split the cable at router end?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

yes! If you cant you can buy an adapter which you connect to that cable and you get two cables with RJ45 connectors.

Thank you very much! Good explanation! Subscribed! What I don't understand is why you make to the router 2 ethernet clips. You can only make one and plug it in the router right? Because the dat from pc A goes over orange and green. And the pc B uses brown and blue. So you got enough with 1 clip (1 cable) on the router side. Maybe the router port where you set it on is not 1gbps. Thats the reason you seperate it so both pcs can use 100 mbit. Is that right?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

It doesn't matter if it's 1Gbps or 100Mbps port. One Ethernet port supports only one single connection. For a 100Mbps network we need only 4 wires which means we can connect 2 devices via one Ethernet cable which has 8 wires. So we need 2 different ports on both ends.

Your router usually has a one WAN port and about 4 ethernet ports for a local network. So if you connect your that cable in any of those local network ports and then your PC in any of those ports (we don't use WAN port) then your router will work as an Ethernet switch so no drop of speed at all.

Using pass thru connectors is a whole lot easier, not available 7 years ago.

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Yep!

[@SLMK-rk7ht]

Thank You!

[@Rulusan]

Terrible idea.... you are basically taking a 1gb wire and turning it into a 100mb wire and don't have any shielding between the two pairs. You are asking for connection issues on your device. A better idea is to use a cat6 splitter 1 into 2 or better yet a inexpensive 5 port gigabit switch.... you can always tuck the switch under a counter or something.

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Buddy you didn't get the point of the video!!! Of course we can buy switches, routers splitters whatever. But there are some situations when you can't buy it or you have urgently deploy some equipment and someone forgot to put a switch in the box etc. It's for our education and it perfectly works as a temporary solution. Anyway thanks for the comment!

[@sumchee448]

@@ElectronicsComputers what is the purpose of this video I don't get the idea of it if you have enough switch wire just add second cable to it

[@dkchoe]

@@sumchee448Chee seriously? It's an instructional video... are you thinking this is some footage of a reality show?

I can see that you have at least one cat cus of the marks 😂

[@mac.fk14]

Bro i can't understand anything but can you help me with this you see i have a input ethernet cable that goes directly into my wifi but my wifi has only input port for cable so i cannot connect my laptops lan cable directly in to wifi. So i thought i should split the input lable with some device called ethernet splitter into to cables and attach 1 in wifi and other in pc so will it work or do I need another device. Please help and if. Possible suggest the device

[@enigmacoy591]

finally. i can finish my homework.

[@gtaclassic6098]

or you could just by a 5 port or 8 port network switch. just saying.....

[@dogmad6773]

Just buy 5 Port Gigabit Switch for $20.

[@Albert-wk8ts]

This method is actually a pretty useful hack if the cable has been installed inside of the wall and you need two separate direct connections to your switchboard.

[@25566]

two shitty non standard sub 100mbps connections*

[@mrcountry]

Additional switch will need additional space and additional power cord.

[@NotMineAtYours]

ok... so for even 2016 this is old as heck wiring. Shouldn't one be setting up AC wireless AP for their laptops, and hard-wiring the building for 1G and replacing patch panels while at it with biscuits like that used sparingly to bridge old cables? you're not doing your client any kindness with this kind of wiring for a long time now (2004 and beyond).

[@RHSInfo2U]

U ripped the cable apart

[@Dg-zj6jo]

All about wiring a plug

[@leondxut]

Why can't you just use a LAN cable splitter?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

The main point of this video was just to show how to split the cable and connect two devices into one Ethernet outlet in emergency or as a temporary solution.

[@leondxut]

@@ElectronicsComputers OK Thank you, I see your point.

[@krisyates5898]

For home use, have at this hack. If you're a professional low voltage cabling contractor or an electrician running cable for a business infrastructure, or even running cable for someone's home, please don't do this. This eliminates POE and gigabit capabilities, and it's just extra work when you could simply pull another cable. Being that there is no industry acceptance of this method, there's a good chance you may miss a pin or punch down wrong. Just not worth it unless you really want to be cheap.

[@binba9]

And what if you're retrofitting old construction and pulling another cable is next to impossible? This kind of hack should almost never be used... but in specific cases, including at a business, it totally can do the trick. :) I'd recommend clearly labeling the port with its limitations (100Mb, no PoE)

[@NathanielBlack12]

It doesn't eliminate PoE capability, you can only use the PoE standards that don't require more than 2 pairs, which is fine for most PoE applications. See the "10/100 mode A, mixed DC & data" section of the table at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_over_Ethernet#Pinouts also see my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnrRq6Fsi8-Ama8 where I test that PoE works.

[@tblakeman]

Like a goddamn surgeon lol
