Re: Fw: [OT] Phone and data services over cat5

["Matthew Miles" <m_miles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gareth,

I plan to use the two 'spare' pairs for connection to a BT Revelation
system - as I may use systemphones with this in the future I will need
all 4 wires connected.  My question is that by doing this will I
create any interference or degredation of the signal on those wires
(caused by signals on the data pairs)?

In summary, is it ok to run 2 signals over 1 cat5 or better to run 2
seperate cables (the phone part will only ever be used as phone
wiring, so it seems a bit wasteful to run it on a seperate cable).
