I don't know about in Australia, but in the UK they are very different cables.
In fact so much so, that we had the common sense to use a different plug for our phone lines.
It says Phone and Modem connections, surely that means that it will work correctly? and ADSL2 etc are internet types over here.
No, this means that it will split a phone line. You plug the phone line into a modem, do you not? |

Correct. That Jackson ADSL In-Line Filter/Splitter is just that. It splits your phone line for use with and also incorporates an ADSL filter. | ![[Image: dorsh]](http://tinyurl.com/dorsh) |

I linked to a 5 port switch in my previous post...
Also, you'll need 3 ports, not 2.
1 for the router, 1 for your pc, 1 for your xbox.
So you'll have 2 ports free, which shouldn't be a problem at all. Man is least himself when he is in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth. (Oscar Wilde) |

RE: Split Ethernet Cable without Router
have you got a spare router lying about? if so you could just plug into the lan ports of that and it'd function as a switch.
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true. |

1. plug everything into the four ports on the back labelled "LAN" and nothing into the "WAN" port
2. power up the router
3. ???
4. profit! The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true. |
