A friend of mine has an AC power to Ethernet adapter cable.

In unrelated news, he was once told that his employer would not replace the horribly out-of-date office printer until it was 100% unrepairably dead, and it mysteriously died a couple of weeks later.

Can I get that with USB-C or do I need another adaptor? Thanks!

[–] notsofunnycomment@mander.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Is this from USB to gardenhose?! So I can finally connect my old thinkpad to the projector?!

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

it's a series of tubes (not a big truck)

Only 13,00 €!

In case you're wondering, some broadcast equipment, such as the Axia Radius, uses Ethernet sockets for the connection of balanced and unbalanced audio.

This simplifies cabling, but you need adapters at the end of each cable to go back to RCA, TRS, XLR etc.

How else did you think they got the dialup noises to play?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Dialup didn't use ethernet.

Finally! I can yell at the internet!

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

No you can't. That's stereo. You can only hear the internet yell at you.

You'd need three lines for an output.

You could use it if you had another one with a female headphone jack. You could play your music to a speaker in another room if you have Ethernet in both rooms. Copper is copper.

[–] EatSleepBatheRepeat@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've done this. I've made speaker wire to ethernet adaptors to connect speakers in a different room through the walls to an amp. Feels and probably is so wrong.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

It really depends how much power you put through the cable, ethernet is something like 0.2 mm2 per core. You'd definitely want to double up cores.

[–] Inductor@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

While, as you said, both wires will conduct electricity just fine, they will have different AC impedance.

I would guess this wouldn't make much of a difference if you go Audio->Ethernet->Audio, since sound is at fairly low frequencies. But Ethernet->Audio->Ethernet might have problems with really high data rates, like GiB/s.

Fun fact: usb uart to audio jack is actually a thing: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1G43QaOnrK1RjSsziq6xptpXaN/win8-10-android-mac-pl2303hxd-usb-uart-ttl-to-2-5mm-audio-jack-serial-adatper-cable.jpg

Some older android phones used the audio jack double duty as a serial debug console, the nexus 5 for example.

I mean, the PinePhone has a switch to change the audio jack from audio into some kind of data transfer protocol. I guess someone could make it work.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Audio jacks have been muxed as debug serial for ages.

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I use 3.5 stereo as an rs232 connector all the time. A poe ethernet to serial would be a huge help to me.

[–] kutch@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I think you would need another connection (ie. a 3rd stripe, TRRS vs TRS cable) for data transfer. Although digital audio is all data anyways I guess and now I don't even feel right but I've already typed it out.

[–] ackzsel@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

I totally used an adapter like that. It did have a raspberry pi in the middle, though.

[–] icerunner@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Finally, I can connect my Sinclair ZX Spectrum to Ethernet!

i made a male version of this 4 times and then bought a ABC RJ45 switchbox for my work desk, so i could choose between computer audio and desk phone audio and cellphone audio through my work headphones.. lets you bump your own music in between calls without dealing with pause buttons etc.. worked great.

Can I do dial-up over VoIP?

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

It’s in this months Dongle Crate subscription shipment.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, network cabling is the same unshielded twisted pair wiring we've used for analog telephone audio over the last 150 years.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Networking uses 4 wires in 2 pair for 10mbps and 100mbps. You need the full 8/4 for gigabit and above. Telephone uses 2/1.

This is so you can record the dial-up sounds.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Btw, when do we get Micro Ethernet?

[–] droans@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Ugh, micro Ethernet is a garbage standard. I prefer Ethernet Type C.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

...for audio streams?

I mean, if the adaptor is active, this could actually work. I have a fucking USB-fed Router/Modem in a case this size.

[–] dipshit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago
[–] AllOutOfBubbleGum@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this a USB Ethernet adapter for one of those weird older devices that used 2.5mm for USB?

[–] kamenoko@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

This is likely an adapter for a switch or router to access it's debug console.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ah, I see you've worked telemarketing too.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

What part of the Apple store can I find this in?
