RJ45 Splitters An excellent question Steve. This has come up a few times in chat. I'll create a wiki page with an explanation of the two different types of RJ45 modular splitters and where they can be used. Stay tuned...
Nice Job. Not the answer I wanted to hear, But at least i wont have to find out the hard way. I was hoping to "T" it off to a first controller in a 3m run then continue off to a second controller 7m away. I will now just daisy chain the controllers and double back on cables.
i used example 2 from the wiki to tee off to each controller, i have tested from the t to the controller at 1meter, but told 20cm is too long
My first time to post here. Been reading for a long time. In your wiki explanation, the way I read it is this, The first example is talking about crossover Cat5 used in PC communication where you have a send and rcv signal that has to be the opposite on either end, otherwise nothing will happen. The second example is talking about a straight thru Cat5....I.E. for DMX. Just my 2 cents worth.........great forum......tons of good info.
