RE: A mere decade after a $gazillion$ remodel....

The only thing i needed clarification on is the number of pairs required for Gigabit Ethernet 1000Mbs. My understanding is that it requires all four pairs, and all 8 pins wired in the RJ45 jack.

If 100Mbs Ethernet is sufficient, only 2 pairs are needed. In this case, you could separate out the remaining 2 pairs from the CAT cable and use them for phone lines.

This is not my scenario but just wanted to understand the requirements. My RJ45 has all 4 pairs wired and I have 1 Gigabit link connections throughout my network from my laptops, Mac Mini, Cisco switches, to the 4 ports in my cable modem.
