Adding a wifi access point help!

At work we have a switch box in our server room, it says on it it's a Netgear ProSAFE JGS524PE. This currently connects to 6 wifi access points around the building.
We want to add two more in more or less the same place (either side of a thick wall). They have about 50 metres to run. Do we have to run two separate cables for these, or can we run just one cable and have some sort of splitter at the end?
I'm not great with IT so please go gentle...

You could run one cable and use a switch to connect two devices to it.0

As above just put a dinky little 5 port switch at the far end.
Obviously if your AP's are PoE then you will have to take this into account0 -
to be honest, for the cost of cat5 cable, if you are putting in one cable, you may just as well pull two through. probably cheaper than adding a switch.Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today!:mad:
Cos if you do it today and like it...You can do it again tomorrow..
