Can you plug two cables into an RJ45 socket?

Hello,

I wanted to know if it was possible to bring two Ethernet cables to the same RJ45 socket. Let me explain a bit better. One of the cables would come to the socket from the floor below directly from the box, and the other cable would go to another RJ45 socket on the same floor to distribute internet there.

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 45.0.2454.101

    Hello

    RJ45=8 wires=4 pairs
    You only need 2 pairs for an internet connection
    There are pair separators, a kind of power strip with 2xRJ45 outputs going to 2 different pairs from the original cable

    So with just one cable you can make 2 connections by placing a separator at each end
