Running voice and data on one cat5 is possible having 2 cat5 cables cost more and if your building a house I would run 2 cat5e.But if your house is all ready built and you only have 1 cat5e at each location "thats ok" You can get the same level of function on one cat5e with out any problems. The big phone cable running down the street on the telephone poles is old and has fax machines on it, DSL lines, alarm circuits , pots lines , dial up ,T1 circuits and what ever else the phone company is offering and they don't have a problem. As a matter of fact I do believe running voice and data on one cat5 is what cat5 was designed for ! Imagine that , I install cat5e and if you wont 2 cat5e at each drop great. Thats times 2 = more $ here is a link to picture to simplify how it is done. remember keep the brown pair on the data side it is used for POE applications and the phone only needs and uses the blue pair. https://www.contact-directconnect.com/Smart-Jack.jpg :toast:

Your post is very hard to read. Would you mind elaborating upon what you are trying to say so that we can start a new thread on this subject? Just a suggestion.

cat5 gives you 3 spare pairs so you can accommodate other projects such as a 10base-t network you do realize that cat3 is available in 4 pair , that CAT5 is available in pair counts other than 4 ,that 10base-t will work just fine on CAT3 and that CAT3 is the preferred cable for POTS service
