Just finished rewiring a small office & I have been asked if I can put in the CAT5E for the new office. The existing Netgear switches & the server is still up & running in these new offices because it is linked to some portacabins & a workshop.
The issue I have is, I was looking at one of the existing cat5 double sockets in one of the portacabins & they have the pc plugged in one socket & the telephone plugged in the other.
How does a telephone system work with the Netgear switches because all the telephone cables come back to where the server & netgear stuff is based (is it called node 0) & they go into a telephone patch panel type thing & then some cables go from the telephone panel into the netgear switch?
Can I use the same type of cat5 cable for network & telephone ?
