RJ45 Cheater Set
lets you run two PCs on one cable
or a PC and a phone.
Product Description
Coming soon, we hope.
The standard "RJ45" 10 base T network cable has four pairs of wires, but only two pairs (four of the eight wires) are actually connected to anything. The two other pairs just sit there, doing nothing. This set of adapters lets you steal them to connect a second PC or a phone.
If you do this, there are a couple of guys up high on a mountain in Switzerland, or maybe in a Burger King in Palo Alto, who will be extremely pissed-off at you for violating their hallowed Ethernet standards.
We won't tell them about what you did, and if no one else rats you out, they won't find out; and even if they did find out, they can't fine you or put you in jail or confiscate your tools or PCs.
Theoretically, there is some loss of data speed when you steal a pair or two, but daring and resourceful and lazy geeks have been cheating like this for years; and no one noticed any difference in the speed of sending email, playing games or downloading porn.
The spare pair scam works with 10Base-T and 100Base-T wiring, not with 1000Base-T, and maybe not with power-over-Ethernet wiring. So, know how the network is being used now, and how it is likely to be used in the future, before you begin your trickery.
If you steal spare pairs, be nice and leave notes and tags to explain what you did, to help anyone who has to work on the network or phone system after you.
The set consists of two duplex jacks with short patch cords to connect to "RJ45" jacks on each end of a data network cable segment. They are carefully assembled by humans, not robots, with Cat5e components. They are carefully tested and are guaranteed to work, and guaranteed to piss-off the people who developed the Ethernet standard. If they don't like it, let them rip open your walls and run new cable.
