Two ethernet cables over one physical cable

If, by any chance, in need to use 2 network cables (4-pins each) over a physical one (8-pins), I found a great post about it. In short, here's how:

Wires to connect for your first cable (at each end):
(Pin one is always the left-most pin if the flat side of the connector is facing you and the copper pins are facing away from you.)

Pin Color
1 white and orange
2 orange
3 white and green
4 UNUSED
5 UNUSED
6 green
7 UNUSED
8 UNUSED

Wires to connect for your "second" cable (at each end):

1 white and blue
2 blue
3 white and brown
4 UNUSED
5 UNUSED
6 brown
7 UNUSED
8 UNUSED


I successfully did it over a CAT5 cable (2 m long).
