One time i was in a pinch, summer out, too hot for attic adventures and i needed to run another cable to my closet
there was already one cable ran and i couldnt use a switch because of how i have design the layout
so i re-wired the existing cable into 2 cables, this works becasue CAT5 cables only use 4pairs of the wire, there are 4 remaining pairs left, i seperated the 4 extra wires out the end and added plugs to both ends. works great and i still get full 100mbps throughput local.
