CAT 5 is a quality of cabling, which protects the integrity of the signal sent down the cable.

There are options out there that allow the power sockets to be used instead of phone lines to join up places.

Try this link first, and look from here.....

No you can't use phone line to obtain the speed that CAT-5e will deliver. If you could do it, then why would they bother to make CAT-5 cable?????

Cat 5 uses all the wires in there....the crossover only uses 4 wires...and are putting DSL in? Then you can get away with using the phone jack, I think.
