How do you attach 2 Ethernet wires?

This question is vague, but I'll assume you want to hook them together. That is called splicing.

There are eight color coded strands in the typical CAT5 ethernet cable. For a straight through (typical) cable with RJ-45 connectors, simply match up all the colors. For a crude splice you can simply twist quarter to half inch lengths of bare wire together, then individually wrap each with electrical tape. Don't expect this to work well over long distances--CAT5 cable is specially shielded to prevent electromagnetic frequency interference (EFI).

To make a crossover cable (connecting switches, etc.) you must reverse pairs. You should be able to find wiring diagrams on the internet. I have spliced cables that worked just fine, and I am no electronics expert.

They also make RJ-45 couplers, which sell for $2 or $3 each. That is the easiest way to connect cables in an office environment.

Why are there 8 wires in an Ethernet cable?

In Cat 5 cable based on fast ethernet (100 mbsp) 4 are used to Send and Receive. The other 4 wires are unused. All 8 wires are used for gigabit communications.


How do you Enable Ethernet and telephone to be transmitted over the same Cat 5 cable?

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.

approximately, whats the cost on a Invitro fertilization procedure?

1. Open the switch housing of the fan. This is usually achieved either by removing two screws on the bottom cap of the switch housing, or three screws on the side. Remove the pullchain assembly by unscrewing the brass finial on the outside of the switch housing. 2. Make careful note of which wires attach where to the pullchain. The chain itself will be marked L-1-2-3 or A-B-C-D or similar, the wires will customarily be of different colors, but if not, mark both the wires and pullchain if necessary. MAKE CAREFUL NOTE OF WHICH WIRES ATTACH WHERE. Every fan is different and if you do not make note there will likely be a complicated guessing game. I cannot stress this step enough. Make careful note of which wires attach where to the pullchain. For example: Black - L, Grey - 1, Brown - 2, Purple - 3. Some fans may use only two or three wires, some may have a pullchain with two layers and five or more wires. Regardless, make careful note of which wires attach where. 3. Remove the wires from the pullchain. In so

What are ethernet cables?

Ethernet Cables are cables with 4 or eight conductors that connect to an RJ45 connector on both ends. They come in a variety of colors and must be no longer than 100 Meters. 10BaseT and 100BaseT use pins 1,2,3 & 6 GigE uses all 8 wires. Generally all current Ethernet cables come with all 8 wires now.
