I have some ethernet cable splitters I'm not using any more. They go in
pairs, one plugs into the wall socket in the office, the other plugs
into the other end of the same cable in the server room. each gives two
female ethernet sockets that represent two separate network cables, each
using two of the pairs. Works great at 100Mb speeds, we needed one of
the lines to be gigabit and they weren't cutting it for that so we ran
more cables.
This might be considerably cheaper than extra switches, but your main
switch has to have enough ports to accommodate the extra stations.
Contact me off-list if you would like to purchase them. I have 9 pairs,
which would turn 9 cables into 18.

I have a client that is looking for a "least cost" solution of providing
more SIP phones to an existing asterisk setup.
The Issue is this: He has 7 total data run lines running back to the
switch/phone room (small company).
However the want to add a total of 5 or more Phones. He doesn't want to foot
the cost of running more data lines along the middle of a large room all the
way to the walls and then back to the phone room.
I was wondering if we could uplink small switches to the wall data ports to
the switch, and connect the additional SIP phones to them to get them
connectivity to Asterisk?
As long as each phone has seperate IP, i'm not sure if there would be a
problem.
Anyone care to chime in to point out any pitfalls or potential problems with
this setup?
Thanks!
