RE: Module question

Keith,

Just thinking about wiring for the KAT5's at the moment ... obviously with
two component modules (still working beautifully of course - you really do
have to see it in action!) and two S-Video + Audio modules (on their way
from you ) this won't be an issue as both ends will be terminated and end
of
story but if I want to add additional S-Video + Audio modules then cabling
is going to start getting messy as currently the whole lot has to be
daisychained.

Is there any simple way of running up a dumb "distribution block"
which
takes a single input but has several outputs so that there is only one run
of CAT5 needed to each KAT5 receiver *AND* there isn't the need to remove
termination?

Failing that, what's the best way to make the cable between 2 RJ45 wall
ports and the single RJ45 connector on the back of the KAT5? Or would it be
practical to add a second "loop" RJ45 to a later revision of the
KAT5 PCB
(maybe with a panel mounted termination switch for the great unwashed?)?

Phil
