Hi, electrician here with basic networking knowledge.
Please see attached picture.
Im trying to over come a problem and just wondering if my possible solution will work or not.
A router has been installed in a room of a house via a junction box in a hallway where the telephone cable comes in and from here a 4 pair cat 5 cable goes to every room.
Is it possible to use the spare cores of cable 1 to come out of the Ethernet port of the router, come back down to the junction box and connect to cable 2.
Will I then be able to plug this into a switch and have wired Ethernet in room 2.
If it is possible, are there specific pairs i need to use?
thanks in advance for any help
