Using RJ45 couplers for a return connection to the box

Hello,

Let me explain: when I had my house built, I chose a technical housing duct (GTL) which includes a communication box of type DTI that allows for the patching of RJ11, RJ45, and coaxial lines. For a coherent installation, it is recommended to place the box in the rack or nearby. However, given the size of the Freebox V6, I would prefer to place it in my office.
The issue is that in the office I only have one RJ45 socket whereas I need two, one for the Ethernet power supply of the box and one that sends the signal back to the patch panel to split it to the other sockets.
My question is whether it is possible with 2 RJ45 splitters to achieve the indicated round trip and if this would not cause any reduction in speed or interference?

Configuration: Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2) / Safari 6.0.2

    Hello,

    you cannot use a "doubler"

    your box requires one pair on the arrival side and four pairs on the departure side. Given what you said, you will need to install a switch to power everything else, and I'm not even talking about VoIP, which will require another pair

    the installation may not be simple, but you will need to place your box at the arrival for much more ease; otherwise, you will have to run a telephone cable for the arrival and VoIP.

    you have another solution, which is the powerline adapter (CPL). You can place your box wherever you want, buy a powerline adapter from Free (or 2 from the market) that you connect to the DTI, which you will need to connect to a switch (to be purchased) that will power the rest of your house network. For VoIP, either you have multi-base phones with the main one close to the box, or you use DECT phones.

    good luck

      Hi,
      it's a shame to buy powerline adapters when you have a wired house :-(
      you can do what you want with 2 splitters, but then:
      1- you'll have a local network at 100 instead of gigabit
      2- you'll need to add a switch to the communication cabinet
      3- as your therapist mentioned, you won't be able to distribute telephony,
      but since the fbsx has a DECT base, it's not a big deal.
