[asterisk-users] sip phone networking question [possibly OT]

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

I have some ethernet cable splitters I'm not using any more.  They go in 
  pairs, one plugs into the wall socket in the office, the other plugs 
into the other end of the same cable in the server room.  each gives two 
female ethernet sockets that represent two separate network cables, each 
using two of the pairs.  Works great at 100Mb speeds, we needed one of 
the lines to be gigabit and they weren't cutting it for that so we ran 
more cables.

This might be considerably cheaper than extra switches, but your main 
switch has to have enough ports to accommodate the extra stations.

Contact me off-list if you would like to purchase them.  I have 9 pairs, 
which would turn 9 cables into 18.
