What you describe is a normal gotcha performed by wiring contractors. Cat 5
standards are infringed when this is done and will cause traffic problems.
IEEE standards are given for a purpose, and using all the wires in your
cable will cause collisions and other 'ghost problems' that you should not
want to deal with in the future. --- Don't do it!!!

Subject: ethernet 2 rj45's on one cable :P ?
hey :)
in normal cat5 ethernet, 4 of the 8 wires are used correct ?
if this is the case, would it be possible to have 2 physical links over
the 1 cat5 cable.
as in in 2 rj45's coming out of each end of the cat5, thus making 2
network connections over the 1 cable. anyone no if this has been done and
how it worked, or if it cant be done, and why :) ?
thanks :)
Justin
