Need Help Wiring Eternet Cable

atrix415 · 08-19-2008, 09:31 PM

hi, A friend of minds recently setup his house in-walls ethernet (1cable, 4pair). But he is using it for his phonelines. My question is Is there a difference using (3cable, 12pair) to using (1cable, 12pairs) Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable (UTP), 12/16/24/48/100 pairs, Category 5, Solid, Indoor / Catalog / Hyperline All of the pairs are inside one cable. Any ideas?

p.s, the installs is in about 4-5 rooms.

For POTS lines (regular telephone) there is no difference. It just comes down to cost/convenience.

At work for wiring for phone/lan we always use Cat-5e, which is 4 pairs green/green stripe for line 1 and orange/orange stripe for line 2. I would run separate lines for phone and ethernet.
