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.

What are the active wires used in rj-45?

In an RJ-45 connector used for Ethernet networking, the active wires are typically the four twisted pairs of wires, totaling eight wires. For 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet, only two pairs (four wires) are used: pins 1 and 2 for transmit and pins 3 and 6 for receive. In 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), all four pairs (eight wires) are utilized for simultaneous transmit and receive, allowing for higher data rates.

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 to crimp an ethernet cable?

To crimp an Ethernet cable, first strip the outer insulation, arrange the wires in the correct order, trim them to the same length, insert them into the connector, and use a crimping tool to secure the wires in place.


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.

How to crimp an ethernet cable properly?

To crimp an Ethernet cable properly, follow these steps: Strip about 1.5 inches of the outer insulation from the cable. Untwist and arrange the colored wires in the correct order according to the Ethernet cable standard (T568A or T568B). Trim the wires to the same length and insert them into the RJ45 connector. Use a crimping tool to secure the wires in the connector. Test the cable to ensure it is working correctly.
