How many utp sockets can be put on the input cable?

Question

Cables and wires

Good afternoon! A twisted-pair internet cable comes to the apartment. it is screened i.e. in braid. with additional residential in the middle.
The apartment has 3 internet sockets. cables from them stick out next to the main one entering the apartment.
At the moment, a cable from one outlet is connected to the main cable with a simple twist. A router sticks out in the outlet and distributes Wi-Fi.
You need to connect another outlet. those. on the main cable, put not one wire, but two.
What is the best way to do this? and in general, how much is the signal loss when branching utp ???
Options
- 1) just twist, triple comes out.
2) throw a router on the main cable, and all the sockets are already connected to it., it is undesirable because the wires go out into the closet.
3) connect as in the 1st case, but through civilian adapters with a crimp. those. put a splitter on the main cable, for 2-3 slots and plug sockets into them.
Thank you very much in advance!

Answer 1

1 piece - gigabit, or 2 pieces. - 100 megabits.
In principle, you can build a "common bus", but there will be 10 megabits .
But if you need it right, then at the output of your main cable (or socket) you need to put a simple switch and dilute it to the required number of computers / sockets.

Answer 2

Switch)))
I think it was originally planned to put where there are a lot of cables - a router. The wires must be crimped with connectors, leaving a margin of 20 cm. Entering the apartment in the WAN, sockets in the LAN ports of the router.
PS Do not fence the garden - do it right right away.

Answer 3

1) Computer and telephone wires work differently. It is impossible to do the 3rd twist in principle. Nothing will work.
2) If the connection speed is from the Gigabit Internet provider - just move the router to the pantry. No switch will help. The most correct option.
If the speed is 100 Mbps, everything is solved with simple twists and an existing router where it now stands. At this speed, only 2 out of 4 pairs are used - Orange and Green. So do the following:
0. We do not use a braid.
1. Unscrew in the pantry from the main wire the Blue and Brown pairs going to the router.
2. Open the wire near the router, bite the Blue and Brown pairs, fasten a piece of patch cord with an RG45 plug to the Blue and Brown pairs: Green pair to Blue, Orange to Brown.
3. In the pantry, to the wire to the second computer, we fasten the released pairs from the Router: Blue to Green, Brown to Orange.
4. We stick a piece of patch cord with blue and brown pairs screwed into the LAN hole of the router.
5. The Internet went to the 2nd computer.
