If you want connect two PCs you can connect the router to the switch, then the two PC's to the switch.

a 50' run should really be made with 2 keystone jacks, 50' of solid wire, and a couple of short patchcords.

Inline coupler can provide fast simple solution.

However, for the long run you should do what Skyking suggested.
