This can and is done. Some companies even make special
adapters for this purpose.
You need to be aware of the possibility of interference or
cross-talk, and that the wires are paired, thus a signal
should not be split across pairs. The leftover pairs are
4/5 and 7/8.
At Southern Illinois University, the cat 3 carries ethernet
or token ring, and telephone connections. The ringing
voltages on telephone lines are quite high, but never
seems to create any appreciable interference on the
adjacent wires.
Good luck,

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
