No. All RJ45 sockets in my house are identical, however I can patch any socket to either the ethernet switch or the phone line. I have also used a parallel port extender (uses 2 pairs) and a video balun over the Cat 5e cables. Basically you should think of the premises wiring as "just a wire" from a central point to a point in a room. That wire then does something specific depending on what you plug into each end. You can extend the concept by considering each wire as 4 pairs of wire, or 8 individual wires, and use them for any purpose you choose. Andy
