Connectivity Diagram
The Connectivity Diagram lays out the following scenario:
Scenario: A company has two oces (A and B). A single CAT5 Ethernet drop connects
Oce B to the network. The company wants to put a network printer and wireless
access point in Oce B. They would like to have a dedicated Ethernet connection for
each device back to the Network Switch in Oce A.
Solution: By using the two Cable Adapters one at each location, the company can
combine two connections to the switch over the existing wiring at Oce A and split
the signal back into two connections at Oce B.
