CAT.5e UTP 10/100 Data & Voice Cable Economiser
<b>Cat.5E Data & Voice Economisers</b>
Traditionally Ethernet networks use 8 conductor cable (or 4 twisted pair) of which four are left spare and not used. These adaptors make use of the spare conductors. In effect the fully wired economisers, to be used in pairs at each end of a cable run, allow Cat.5E data and voice signals to be divided. By plugging one economiser direct into a wall outlet and another into a patch panel at the other end; one cable run of 4 twisted pair can be used to transmit either 2 sets of data, voice or single data and voice signals.
- Must be used in pairs - frequently one plugged into an office faceplate, the other to patch panel in a cabinet
- Economises on use of solid core premise wiring by splitting signal into two sets of 2 twisted pair - saves the installation of additional cable runs
- Enables support for either two data, two voice/token ring or single data/single voice signals without loss of performance
- Y adaptor splits all eight lines allowing for parallel connection - it does not give two individual lines, however allows two (telephones) points to share same line
- Optional unshielded or shielded versions with wall mounted screw fittings
