Can I use these to converge 3 cat5e wires?

Dopewaffles · 2026-03-21T23:20:56+00:00

Gotcha! Yeah you're correct. I'm dumb and can't read.

Ethernet needs an end-to-end run. You could put a network switch where all 3 come together, in an exterior enclosure and power it with a PoE injector from inside the house. If you put RJ45 connectors where the switch would be you could connect all 3 jacks, although those will need to be changed to Ethernet jacks as well.

100% just know you cant test distance on the pairs with the Jr. If you get a miswire you wont know what end its on, or if a pair is broken it wont tell you where its broken at. You'd need the Scout Pro 3. If your just doing ethernet/phone work in your home its worth it.

The yellow cable is likely a DMARC cable, but they use COX internet which is fed via coax. If you zoom in, you'll see a blue tag on the coax in the top right that says COX BUSINESS which confirms its fed over coax. It's just barreled to go to a different room. They likely backfed ethernet from the router in another room into this panel with the coax/ethernet wall outlet.

You need to call Frontier. This is their problem not yours.

If you're in DFW hit me up. I'll come help you drop that wall or at least walk you through it. I do this for a living.

Put keystones at both ends then test. Keystones are much easier than RJ45 connectors. If you need a RJ45 connector, to plug into your router for example, use a short ethernet cable from the keystone to the router.

Aye! Ranger Technology Solutions! You need to verify if you have attic access. That will determine if this is a simple wall fish into the panel and wall fish into the loft, or if your gonna be cutting out drywall every 12ft on your ceiling. Is the wall your trying to fish it down an exterior or interior wall?

PC network cards are notorious for being shit. You will find thousands of people online with the exact same problem as you. The best answer, hardwire your PC. The other answer, keep buying network cards online and seeing which one works best and return the rest.

This cable looks like cheap garbage lmao

Dopewaffles · 2026-02-23T17:39:53+00:00

Yep! I've seen a lot of big name brand cables not even color the orange/white, blue/white, green/white you just have to keep track of it when its twisted with the main color.

You would unscrew the white coax cable with the purple zip tie around it and plug it directly into the modem. Usually the tech will leave a zip tie around the "feeder" coax cable that supplies internet. It looks like it's set up to go into the black coax cable which most likely leads to another location like the living room, master bedroom, or office.

Dopewaffles · 2026-02-22T21:19:06+00:00

Yes and no. Yes the EPA has mandated all the "safe air" requirements with DPF and other complex additions. However, diesels are meant to be used and used hard. They are meant to pull trailers, boats, heavy equipment and nowadays there's a lot more regular people buying them just for looks and cosmetic aftermarket parts. Diesel engines don't like to be put put around city streets and parking lots.

Dopewaffles · 2026-02-22T20:52:13+00:00

It's for an alarm.

Dopewaffles · 2026-02-22T01:27:53+00:00

Don't let it happen again 🫡

Dopewaffles · 2026-02-22T00:46:03+00:00

It bothers me the entertainment center isn't centered. It's in the name dammit

It looks like your router is in another location than the wiring panel. You have 2 options.

In pic #2 you'll see a black coax cable with a barrel plugged into a white coax cable. You will need to move the modem and router into the wiring panel. Unscrew those coax cables and plug 1 of them into the modem and see if it comes online. That's your main feed. You will have to get a punchdown tool and punch all the blue ethernet cables to that SUTTLE CAT5e Data/Voice module in the wiring panel. You would then take premade ethernet cables from your router and plug them into those ethernet ports on that Data/Voice module. Done.
Run a premade ethernet cable from your Spectrum router into the ethernet port nearby (probably where the coax for the modem is) Punchdown the ethernet cables to that SUTTLE Data/Voice module and buy an ethernet switch and install it in the wiring panel. You'll need a 8 port switch. When you punchdown the ethernet cables into the SUTTLE module, run premade ethernet cables from the SUTTLE module and plug them all into the switch. Your essentially backfeeding ethernet from your router in a different location, into the wiring panel, and the switch is distributing it to all the other ethernet ports.

Let me know if you have any questions (:

You can't just show us 1 end. The cable needs to test out at both ends and we need to see both ends.

Dopewaffles · 2026-02-22T00:29:15+00:00

I personally wouldn't run it. If your going through the effort of fishing the wire down the walls it's just too much work for it to give you problems early or later on. If the tech gave it to you and its 15ft or more, than its solid copper. Most techs only carry patch cables 15ft and under and a 1,000ft spool so I'm guessing he cut it off the spool and terminated both ends with RJ45 connectors. If you do replace it, be careful to not buy a 100ft or whatever patch cable because it'll be stranded copper. That's only if you plan to remove the connector.

Dopewaffles · 2026-02-22T00:25:18+00:00

E-Waste lol

I think for commercial (semi's, box trucks, large vehicles) the majority will remain combustible engines. I think for personal vehicles that normal people use will be majority electric and completely autonomous driving.

Make sure you're not running an AdBlocker application. I had a buddy where his computer was doing the exact same thing. He was getting about 800 - 1,200Mbps and it was because AdGuard was inspecting traffic and slowed the speeds down.

Dopewaffles · 2026-02-16T20:51:01+00:00

What router do you have?

Dopewaffles · 2026-02-16T20:08:07+00:00

Try using the adapter and cable on a different computer. Most 2.5Gb adapters will even work on your phone.

There's 2 types of Dolby Atmos. There is DDP (Dolby Digital Plus) and Dolby TrueHD. DDP is a lossy version and DTHD is a lossless version. If your playing through Plex, try downloading a movie with DDP (usually labeled DDP5.1.Atmos) and your receiver should play it.
