Broadband :: Difference Between RJ11 And Cat5e RJ45?
Apr 25, 2011
I want to connect 2 desktop computers by wire to my broadband. The inlet is 20 metres downstairs. Should i use RJ11 to reach the Router upstairs, then connect with 5 metres RJ45, OR run two RJ45 cables 25 metres with Router near socket downstairs.? Would there be any degredation in either cable.?
We've have a client who had a ordered 2 units of 2901 router to have site to site connectivity. User has bought a leased line of 256kbps from service provider in between two sites, but the issue is the service provider has layed a rj11 cable and there is no rj11 interface on 2901 router it only has two rj45.
I want to connect internet via telephone cable by using rj11 jack from my ethernet switch to another computer it is 150mts away from my office premises.
Is it possible to use ADSL Wireless router (one with RJ11 WAN in) to connect to cable net? If not is there any which can allow me to connect to cable net in future if in case I change to cable net ISP.
I would like to be able to modernize these outlets with a new RJ11 jack for telephone and replace the electric outlets with fresh ones. Problem is, no one can lead me to where I can find new wall plates for this combo setup style. Someone has told me this is out of code for many years now and there is no clear cut path to modernizing it besides just moving the telco jack/box out of the electric gang box and into its own separate box to the side.
Upgrading such "messes" to standard modular RJ11 plugs, and finding wallplates for it?
I have purchased a new home where cat5e was run from several locations throughout the house to the basement. Unfortunately, the runs were not marked. I know you can short one end of each cable and measure (voltage resistance?) at the other end in the basement to identify it. I need the process and equipment required so I can wire my home. The cables are not terminated.
SO I am not a computer wiz... but I have this outlet in my upstairs wall which has a phone and Cat5e Jack. I would like to set up my wireless router up there but where does the modem go? there is no jack for the cable.
I have CAT5e running through out the house. They all start at a 4x10 telecom punchdown module and end with non standard jacks. When I unscrewed a few wallplates, only the orange, white orange, blue, white blue are connected. The greens and browns are snipped off. I don't much care if I have a telephone or not (my cell phone is my only phone), I'm thinking of pulling all the cat5e off the module and attaching RJ45 plugs on them. Seeing that only the wires I mentioned above are connected at the wallplates, do I need to terminate all the wires on the RJ45 plug or only those four?I'm not planning on going up to a 1gb connection right now because I only have 20mb service anyways. Also, will I still received data only using those four wires?
I have a house with a Leviton Enhanced Infraestructure Platform that distributes cat5e wiring to multiple outlets throughout the house. The problem is: Some cables will not transmit the Ethernet (internet) signal, but when I connect a phone line to it, it works. So the cable integrity is fine, but somehow connecting the internet router to it will not make it work.
Can i run a telephone line (UK BT) and a network connection in 1 x cat5e, this is to work a uk sky tv/internet box which requires a telephone line and an internet connection for its on demand side?
The Ethernet Cable in the Control Panels are Cat 5 or 5E. where as The ethernet cable from the PLC to the Control cabinet is Cat 6/6E. Is it Ok to patch to connect them in series?
I just purchased a Belkin prepmium CAT5e networking cable and plugged it into an internet wall jack and hooked it up to my ps3 and the connection won't work. Does it have to be hooked up to a router? Is a CAT5e cable the same as ethernet? or will I need to buy a different cable?
Just about to run about 30 metres of Ethernet cable underground from one building to another. I know there's quite a few forums like this which suggest to go for cat5 mostly for the price, not sure when these were advised but cat6 doesn't seem to be too much more now...
So just wondering if it will be worth going for cat6 for a future reference if you will, ideally if products ever advance to support it. Just that I don't fancy digging up the cable in a year or so.
Of course I'd rather go for cat5e but wouldn't mind adding a bit to the budget if it's worth it?
Also does anyone know if it's any more difficult to fit the connecters to cat6e? Are they just the same as rj45?
I am trying to connect CAT5e riser cable to a GE #76536 network and phone wall plate.The problem I am having is the CAT5e cable has 4 twisted pairs of wires as follows: blue/white, green/white, orange/white and brown/white. The wall plate connection has 8 distinct colors; blue, white, green, orange, yellow, black, red and brown. (or at least that's what they look like to me)None of the white wires from the CAT5e cable have any striping. They are all solid white. I've found color charts for matching striped wires, but I am at a loss to figure out how to connect these white wires to the proper terminals
Currently have wireless router to internet with pc's all connected in home network. Is it possible to put a cat5e/6 cable between two client PC's for a temporary boost in speed for for accessing shared files between these two machines.(i.e. 1Gbit rather than 56Mbit.)Both PC's would still want individual connections to the router and internet, but how do you make sure accessing shared files goe's through the faster ethernet cable rather than the router?
I have seen 5-port network switches (for home network use)for sale that list CAT5 and CAT5e as the cabling. My question is, can CAT6 cable be used with these switches without performance issues?
A 500 ft Ethernet run with a mid-point POE extender, what should I use on both ends for best results? Looking for a possible switch at the termination end. I'm using enhanced Cat5E cable.CGMAN
I have Cordata 5e cable and noticed the wires inside are not the typical wire colors ie:green/ white. The colors of wires are all solid ie: green, yellow, tan, pink, etc...
I'm looking for some software for copying large amounts of data from a Mac OS X machine to a Windows 7 machine over a Cat5e cable with IPv4 connectivity?
Another way I could ask this question is what IPv4 protocol will have the lowest overhead so that I may copy large amounts of data the fastest?
Also, would that mean it's a low-level protocol, like transport layer?
Half of the time i have to stay at hotel due to business trip. The hotel i stay will provide free internet broadband with cable but no WIFI. Can i set up WIFI if i have router?
Is it possible to use my atom mini itx with pci + pci nic card and creating a firewall? No possible problems between using the motherboard port and a pci port? I'd like to fool around with smoothwall or another firewall software.
