Split a single pair of straight cable to get two

[Hassan2013]

Hello,
i have one running UTP cable of around 50m, terminated at a point. Is it possible to split my cable so that i can terminate two points - so that i can connect my 2 Pc without a switch in btw.

Depends on what connection speed/duplex you want. Or put simpler you can do it, but not for gigabit connections. it used to be pretty common to run 2 pair for Ethernet, 1 pair for phone and have an extra pair years ago off 1 cat5e line. You could skip the phone and extra pair and make two ethernet connections, but as cheap as Ethernet cable is the better design would be run another line.
