    • Questions and Answers
      • Garry Trethewey asked this question: can I split the (Cat5) cable to provide, in effect 2 cat5 cables for every one I have? Or is there some technical reason to leave 2 pairs in each cable unused?

      Answer: Yes, you could make two network connections if you wired correctly for 100BT network. GigaBitT uses all four pair cables so that only one connection can be wired.
