This is a simple network cord tester that uses just 8 unique resistors. The values/wattage doesn’t matter as long as the meter can read them. They should be in the kiloohm range. I have made an Excel spreadsheet file that you can enter all 8 of the resistors and get the total parallel resistance. The …

Audio over telephone
Heres a simple circuit that takes a audio signal(from ham radios,computers or cd players) and converts them into a telephone signal. It powers the phone line with 22vdc(It doesn’t have to be 22vdc, different voltage means different resistor is needed). The phones can run as high as 48v. If you use cordless phones the converter …
Passive Ethernet Tap
A Ethernet tap allows you to monitor Ethernet communications going through the tap. The circuit uses no power and that is why its called passive. Can be made by cutting Ethernet cords and/or soldering or crimping. This method will make the maximum Ethernet speed 100Mbps, even if its a gigabit Ethernet. Also you could use …
