can i split one cable into two ends
so i can hook up 3 xbox at the same time.
like this


-----------------------------=====================
each end will go into an xbox
do you think i can play halo 2 with this cable

NO. You could just buy a switch though.

i have a switch but that wont work its
A to B or C not
A to B & C at the same time.

iam trying to do this

and why can't you use a hub?

because i am sooooo pooor

i just whant to know if it would be possible to do this so i can start soldering.

ethernet cables aren't like speaker wire, you can't just splice them and put electrical tape on them, and expect them to work..

unce i extended my 20 ft patch cable to 25 ft

I have never seen anything like this. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a hub basically do this? It has no electronics or anything it in, right? I have no idea if this would work, but it might, seeing as I think this is how a hub works.

so shuld i try it

go for it. Post your results, I may be wrong, but I'd like to know.

Yeah, I would try it. It cannot damage anything.

Definition of a hub:
refers to a device within a network that accepts a signal from one point and redistributes it to one or more points.

So, yeah, what you're thinking of sounds like a really ghetto hub.

Although I don't like double posting, you could ask this same question in the hardware chat or hardware modding forums.

ok i will try it.

OH SHIT!


Hope you didn't start yet! Can't believe I didn't catch this before. You can't use PATCH cables, you need to use CROSSOVER cables.


If this works, which I hope it will, write a tut. Might be a simple one, but take a lot of pics during your process. This would be cool, and a ghetto wat to bypass your hub and one less thing to bring on LAN parties.

Hmmm, let me think. If he gets a 3 connector Lan cable going, then you should also be able to get a 4 connector cable, right?

its funny that i am going to make a getto cable because i live blocks away from watts.

i am going to try to mod my switch to make it a hub

What is watts?

Also, can't you just use a switch? You wouldn't have to mod it, I don't think. It should work just like the hub, but a little bit faster, almost like a router.

its the worst , and most getto place in los angeles



it takes the input and sends it out to A or B but not in the same time
so only 2 xboxs can be hook together at the same time
