MOVED INTO NEW HOUSE IT HAS CAT5E ?

[grumpyteck]

I need a home network but only have one cable per location, no possible way to add more cable. I have heard you can have both telephone and data with only one cable. Has anyone tried this ? Can it be done? What about standards ? Can you do it ? Pictures would be welcomed

While it is possible to split up a 4-pair cable, would using cordless telephones and using the cable strictly for data be doable?

we are using corless phones but the neighbors can listen in on their baby monitor.Maybe go with just a wall phone in kitchen

Is it an older model cordless (analog) telephone? DSS phones tend to be immune to that type of problem. I'd try a different cordless telephone.

You should get a DECT Digital cordless phone if you can.
Yes it is possible to break open the pairs on a CAT5 cable
But if you are using 1GB then its best not to

Have you thought of using some cable economisers?

if you search about you should be able to find a data/voice one or data/data etc

might be a thought??

How about network and cell phone only?

That's what VoIP is for. One drop per location, VoIP phone uses the drop, PC connects to phone. Done. The phones aren't cheap, but a lot better than running two drops.

you could just strip off the brown/white pair. Network connections use 1,2,3 and 6. Analog uses 4 and 5. 7 and 8 are normally reserved for Power over Ethernet. They splitters that will do this for you.
