You'd plug them all into a switch, then all the ports in the rooms they go to will be able to communicate with each other. Connect a router to that switch as well and connect it to the internet, then all the ports will have internet access as well. 

 

Proper structured cabling practice would actually have all those connections into a patch panel and then go from the patch panel to a switch, but just going straight to the switch will still work fine.

Got it. So these will all need to be plugged into a switch. Switch then plugs into your router.

thanks its that simple?

 

Honest to god. Buy a 10-12 port switch. Plug them all in. Plug the router into the switch too. Good to go.

Yes

Thanks yall 

 

so just to make sure i need a switch

 

plug everything into the switch 

 

and then the router in the other room will get plugged in to the cat5e wall jack in that same room the router is in?

Hold up I re-read this last line and it confused me a bit. 

 

1. All the cables: Go into switch.
2. Router: Either plug it directly into the switch, or plug it into one wall jacks that now leads to the switch.

 

Something like this will do you just fine: https://smile.amazon.com/Ethernet-Shielded-Optimization-Unmanaged-TL-SG116/dp/B07GR9S6FN/

Depends on what you need. That one you linked me to will handle 100mbps. The original one I linked is gigabit.

One last thing simply out of curiosity. What's going on with this thing back here?

 

 

It looks like an RJ-45 to RJ-45 coupler, but I'm not sure why. Were does that lead and why is it there?

It looks like there is another cable that's plugging into the other side. Just remember which one is which when you go unplugging it in case you need to do troubleshooting down the line.
