I had a quick look at the source and also at an online source (can't recall the name right now) and was unable to find what I was looking for.
It it technically possible to have two 100 Mbit connections on the same Cat 5 cable. You would need to split the cable on both ends. I once ordered some specially made adapters from a guy on eBay.

As suggested though, much easier to buy a switch.
