hpj2007: Why is CAT5 better than phone lines? isn't it expensive to buy CAT5 to Phone adaptors? And Most PC's these days just use wireless LAN.

raytaylor: This reminds me - does anyone know if using a cat5 cable to carry a phone line on one of the spare pairs will disrupt data on the same cable? My pabx is a digital one and we have 2 extensions (2 pair each) going between houses per cable and have no disruptions but I would be interested to know about an analog phone line and computer data at the same time on the single cable - my spare pabx ports are analog.
grant_k: There are 2 spare pairs in 10/100/1Gig Ethernet cable so you can use them for something else if you like.

Gigabit Ethernet uses all four pairs, so only spare on 10/100.
grant_k: I can't think of too many uses for 1Gig Ethernet in a home, but who can tell what is coming in the future. Always best to be prepared I think, and if it was my money, I would be running separate cables for Phone and Ethernet. Overkill is a GOOD thing
