Best Answer

Ethernet network traffic on a cat 5 cable only uses 4 wires of the 8 in the cable. Telephone voice transmission only uses 2 wires. Therefore, you can take any 2 of the unused network wires (pins 4 or 5, 7 or 8) and use it for voice. You would then have both data and voice transmission in the same cable.
