I need to know if it is possible to get a connector (like for TV areials) that allows you to make 2 internet cables plug into the one socket in the wall?
Links if possible to sites...
Thanks

You don't get an adaptor like that.
You'd either need 2 cables or a switch/hub.

You can buy them, but they won't work for gigabit connections (GigE needs 8 wires to itself).
You need to buy these in pairs though -- one each end of the structured cabling. What are you trying to achieve?

At the price though you could just buy a switch as John suggested

----------------------- PC
[wall socket] -<
----------------------- Laptop

I didn't know you could get what Tim posted, it must use seperate pairs to transmit it then seperates them at the other end.
You can't do what you're suggesting 1 ended though, ethernet doesn't work the same way a phone line does, every connection needs a different cable.
Edit now you've posted that picture, that'll work.

That netgear hub is what you need.
3 Cat5e RJ-45 cables needed. One from your wall socket to the device, then one from each of the computers to the device

I have 3 cables that would potentially plug into the wall, so i presume they are Cat5s cables
