Hi Paul,

Standard BT Wiring Colours are

1  GREEN/White    Not normally used at home
2  BLUE/White     B Wire
3  ORANGE/White   Bell Wire
4  WHITE/Orange   Earth Not normally used at home
5  WHITE/Blue     A Wire
6  WHITE/Green    Not normally used at home

On an RJ45 patch panel the line should connect to

4  BLUE/White     B Wire
5  WHITE/Blue     A Wire
2  ORANGE/White   Bell Wire

Patch Panel colours are standard colour code. Any adapters re-arrange an
RJ45
to BT Pinout. If you have a free end of cable to connect to a BT socket it
is
just the standard BT Colours as above.

Sorry I didnt get to read it earlier :-(
