Hi All – I wonder if you can offer some
advice
I have a Phillips DECT phone. The AC adapter (I guess
what
you guys refer to as a wall wart??) has a standard RJ45 connector at the
end of
the cable. The RJ45 connector plugs into the base station to provide
power.
I’d like to extend the power cable so that I can
run
it in some trunking and keep it tidy. Of the eight pins on the connector,
only
the outside four are wired. The middle four are not
wired.
The way I see it I can build some kind of extension
keeping the
original intact, or lob off the connector (taking note of the pin-outs) and
connect some sort extension cable. I’ve done some CAT5 crimping and
have
the required crimping tools.
Any advice? Will the power run over std
CAT5?
Thanks
Eric
