Just make up a wire with RJ45 on one end and BT plug on the other. I have ISDN through TA with 2 analogue ports (actually RJ11 rather than BT but principal is the same). I took a wire from each of these ports, into a couple of BT expansion boxes and then ran RJ45 terminated wires from those to the patch panel. Then as you have, I have modules plugged into the RJ45 ports to allow normal phones to be plugged in.

   Hi all - another question from the phantom lurker

 

 As I understand it I can patch my BT connections over my cat 5 cabling . I have some adapters to plug into my nice new rj45 wall sockets that allow me to plut a standard phone jack in.

 

However I cannot find an addapter which will allow me to patch from my BT master socket into my patch panel. I tried Maplin but they didnt seem to be able to help.

 

Does anyone know how I can do this?

 

Thanks

 

Alex
