Re: Using a modem cable as CAT5
By modem cable do you mean a telephone extension cable? That would have 3 pairs of wires. Ethernet has 4 pairs. Sometimes not all pairs are fully used. You might get away with it if you can work out which 2 pairs you'd need but you may find the transmission speed is poor as duplex snd such like would probably fall over.
If the wire is there can you not use it to pull through a better cable?
