Is this cable already "in-wall"? In other words, is the problem that you cannot run another cable there? That is "the best" solution, I think. I think it can be done, thought is is a bad idea, I don't know anyone who makes such a device. It probably wouldn't be to hard to make though. (1) cat 5 cable (3) RJ45 ends (2) longer thinner shrink tube (for each set of 2 twisted pairs) (1) short thicker shrink tube (to keep the split together nicely) Just make sure the twisted pairs stay twisted, and in pairs, and it just might work. ;-) And you know you'll need two, so you'll have some practice before the second one. :-/ Good luck, Troy >>> lxy at cloudnet.com 09/19/01 02:28PM >>> I realize this is a bad idea, but in my application I think it will be Good Enough(tm). In my fiancee's apartment I have a Cat5 cable running from the living room to the geek lounge. The cable modem is in the living room because there's no cable TV connectors in any other room. I now want to put a WebTV type component into the entertainment center but it needs to be inside the firewall. Is there such thing as a Y adapter that I could split 1 Cat5 run into 2 ethernet lines? Yes, I realize it would break the standard but seeing as how one line is connecting to my cable modem (2 Mb/sec max) and the other will be 10 Mb/s, it should work. Does anybody sell these or is this just a dumb idea and I should have no business trying? -Brian _______________________________________________ tclug-list mailing list tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
