Splitting a single Cat 5 into 2. HELP

[akirru]

Ok I have both my xbox and xbox 360 hooked up at the moment and I run a single network cable into my room. I like to have them both hooked up as I use the 360 for live and the xbox (which is modded) to stream media like divx too.

My dilemma is this, every time I want to use one or the other I have to manually change the network cable. Some might say what is the problem, well its just annoying and plus I'm concerned I might damage the ports on the consoles if I keep changing the cable over.

Is there a device to split the cable? Then I could plug two cat 5 in the other side so both consoles would be connected. I only use one console at a time.

Ah,

Yeah I think I should have explained the situation a bit better ..hehe

I have a Router atm

There are 3 pc's connected to it and the 4th input is being used by the 360 or the xbox.

Now is there any way of separating the cable leading to the 360 withough physically splitting the cable?
