RE: Re: Telephone wiring question

Hi matt_miles_uk

One other alternative and I know I'll get slated....  Run the lot over cat
5
+ patch panel but use conventional BT sockets where you want the
extensions.
This way you can keep you BT connectors on your phone/faxes and you don't
need rj45->bt converters.  If you ever want to swap the use of the
socket (
ie to data ) simply swap it for a rj45 socket ( or whatever ) - doesn't
take
long.  Doesn't exactly follow the flood wiring / patching ethos but it's
nice and neat.

Will you also be using ADSL in the future ?

This is where I was getting confused.  I plan to make a patch lead
from the BT master socket in the house to the back of my phone patch
panel.  This will be wired in parallel.  so for my extensions if i
wanted to use a converter all I would need is a secondary one... so
whats the difference between using one of those and chopping the BT
plug off?

Cheers,

Matt

RJ46 plug! (only a few quid each I think???)
