if you want to run a line, don't run the coaxial line...run an ethernet line...if you go to your boss' office, you will see that the coaxial line connects to a cable modem, which in turn is connected to your boss' computer...what you want to do is buy a standard router...in this setup, the coaxial cable goes to the cable modem, the cable modem connects to the router, and the router splits the signal to all the computers...in this setup, you need an ethernet cable...what you want is an T-568A or T-568B ethernet cable with two RJ-45 heads on both ends...as long as the ethernet cable is not over 100M, it should be good for 100BASE-TX...run the ethernet cable, do NOT split the coaxial line...
