TOKYO–September 29, 2011–Net Chart Japan inc.( Net Chart), a LAN network construction company and 100% owned subsidiary of Internet Initiative Japan inc. (IIJ, NASDAQ: IIJI, TSE1: 3774), one of Japan’s leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, today announced to launch of a joint venture to produce narrow-gauge LAN cables with partners Fuji Electric Cable Company Limited (Fuji Electric Cable), a manufacturer and seller of fire-resistant cables, communications cables, LAN cables, fiber-optic cables, and devices and processed goods, and Panduit Corporation. Japan Branch (Panduit), a global provider of physical network infrastructure products.

The first product to be released by the joint venture will be the “eco-patch” LAN cable, a cable used in the PoE systems produced by Fuji Electric Cable and sold by Net Chart. the cables will use Panduit’s new PAN-PLUG

The cable from the wall (Virgin Media Broadband) goes through my set top box to my home PC. If i add some RJ45 Cat5e Splitters and cables, can I just plug in any other computers (ie, my new laptop) to the wired network?

Yes you can, but a router would be better.
I`m with Virgin, and I bought the one below, it works really well, with 2 pcs and 2 laptops.

NO you will need a router. A router does what called DHCP which will give all the computers hooked up to a single internet connection it's own IP Address. without this the incomming messages won't know what computer to send information to.

If you are do not have a router, you probably don't have DHCP service available. you will need that in order to run multiple PCs simultaneously. you can get a 4 or 8 port router pretty reasonably.

SHould be able to yeah. the router box should usually have more than one port for a cable anyway.

Got a cat5 patch cable, but can't get the modem or the nic to light up. What's the usual type of cable for that connection, patch or crossover?

You need a crossover when there are two devices in series. from a computer to a modem use a patch cable. Check that the cable is good. Check that the network connection is enabled.

The 5 10/100/1000T full Gigabit ports of the JetNet 3005G support up to 9.6Kbytes Jumbo frame, broadcast storm filtering and QoS, allowing users to have an enhanced performance video streaming without image loss and fragmentation. The Plug & Play design and the fault relay alarm function for auto notifications make the switch a user friendly device, easy to implement in industrial on-site applications. for users

I need to build 320 cross connect cables. each cross connect cable will be 6ft in length and will take 20 minutes to build. I want to allow for 5% failure in the cables after they are built. How many RJ-45 connectors should i order?

ya what the smart guy said. good luck with the cables

Hi

We have a router downstairs that is our main router. Off one of its ports, we have a very long wire that goes upstairs into a second (powered by the mains) router. That then splits off and one goes to my PS3 in my bedroom.
I have a computer in my bedroom too, and I want to connect that to the internet with a wire, but I do not have to wire it to the upstairs powered router, because it is some 25m away.

I think I need to buy an Ethernet splitter, like this one:
sourcingmap.com/ethernet-rj45…

so, the 25m wire from the upstairs router will go into one end of that splitter, and out of the other end, have two smaller cables, one to the PS3 and one to the computer.
Will that work?
I would like both to be able to connect to the internet at the same time if possible, so would that be the right thing to buy?

Thanks a lot, and sorry if it was a bit confusing

This is the type of wires they all are too:

Your concept will work as long as you get a splitter with the correct wiring. this website explains how it works:
duxcw.com/digest/Reviews/Network/ats/index.html

In short you will need to purchase two of them, one for each end of the RJ45 cable. at the bedroom end you plug your PS3 and PC into the splitter as planned. Downstairs you need to connect the splitter to the other end of the 25m cable and then plug both connections into two seperate ports on the back of your router (so you are going to need a spare port free).

This works because the RJ45 cable has 8 strands of copper in it but only 4 of them are used by ethernet. The splitter just makes use of the other 4 strands of copper cable in the cable.

If this works depends on the wiring. many "comes with"
cables usually don't have enough strands to
feed two full cables. But if it works in general you
need to do this on BOTH ENDS!

You can't merge two cables into one and then
plug that into one port on a switch. it will grow legs
and try to kill you. if it works you need to split the
cable on the router side as well and use 2 ports.

But it's very likely that this setup will cause mediocre
to severe interruptions on both "virtual" cables since
you're reducing the shielding to a bare minimum.
