Please log in for more thread options phone and ethernet over these lines. I have spent some time trying to get this to work but haven't had much luck. Wondering if anyone has any advice? The set up is: I have two phone lines; one for upstairs and one for my office in the garage. The garage line carries the DSL service. From the MPO I have two wires that go into a small phone jack. I have attached my DSL splitter to this jack. DSL splitter has phone out and DSL out. DSL out runs to a 4 outlet router. Phone runs to a 3-way splitter (I may run this to a punch down block....) Using the Cat5, I have pulled the blue and white wires away from the rest allowing about 6 inches of wire and put an RJ11 jack onto it. I plug this into the splitter. The other end is already connected to the phone jack and works great. I have then pulled the Orange and Green pair (still twisted) and cut them about 1 inch from the jacket. I then put them into an RJ45 jack into 1,2,3 and 6. (OW/O/GW/G) This I plugged into the router and the other end into my computer. This DID NOT WORK. Help?? Thanks!!! ------------------------------------- ##-----------------------------------------------## Article posted with Cabling-Design.com Newsgroup Archive http://www.cabling-design.com/forums no-spam read and post WWW interface to your favorite newsgroup - comp.dcom.cabling - 938 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options OK, as I understand it: a single Cat5 run with phone split on pair one (blue/wh). This should work and is specifically designed to work at 10baseT (and maybe higher). First, how did you do connections? Cat5 jacks (female) normally have color codes, you follow them because to meet Cat 5, they're all twisty inside. When you mention pin numbers, it sounds like you crimped. This is usually a bad idea for newbies. It is extremely easy to get wrong (pattern, plugs, force). -- Robert | ||||||||||||||||
