Ok I never considered jumpers I will try it nowSo you want to have two PC board mount RJ-45's sitting side by side wired in parallel on a single sided PC board? Can't be done without jumpers. If I was on my other computer I could do it real quick with Express PCB.
Even with Jumpers I have failedSo you want to have two PC board mount RJ-45's sitting side by side wired in parallel on a single sided PC board? Can't be done without jumpers. If I was on my other computer I could do it real quick with Express PCB.
I am struggling to follow this explanation. Would you be good enough to post a sketch.It can be done easily with an S shaped routing between the two connectors. For two connectors at the right edge of the board, facing to the right (outward):
8 traces go in parallel to the 8 pins of the upper connector.
The 8 traces continue straight under the connector body, then all 8 turn 90 degrees to the right to head downward.
When they are even with the gap between the two connectors, hen they turn 90 degrees to the right to head back between the connectors toward the inside of the board.
Once past the back of the connectors, they turn 90 degrees left to go down behind the lower connector.
Then they turn 90 degrees left again and go straight to the 8 pins under the lower connector.
No jumpers, and equal average path length for all 8 signals.

Sorry I don't have a part number But I have attached Photos of the socket. They are through hole mount I want to have them side by sideIn addition to seeing how you intend to place them on the board we clearly need to know if they are through hole or surface mount type..
Post the part number/datasheet
I am extending my Internet Cable to a router, My cable is 10 meters short so I just want to make a link with the socketsIs this for ethernet? If so, you really should keept the impedances correct, so using pairs from a CAT5 cable and short traces just to join the wires would be advisable.
Also if this is for 10/100Mbit ethernet then you likely need just four wires.
Thank you I will follow this example. The tracks are going to be very thin.
Thank you. In Zimbabwe there is no Chance I would find one hereIf available at your location, a simple coupler like this is cheap ($2.98 USD):

Home Depot carries them in the US.
