RE: Moving my BT phones sockets into a patch panel

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

There is a wiring diagram on yahoo group somewhere. I posted it a while
ago.
It's here:

I'm definitely no expert in telecoms, but I did what you describe.  My
phones are now distributed on CAT5, but leaving the master box alone, so
that if I get a telecoms problem that requires BT to investigate, I can
easily unplug the lot, and not get charged by BT for 'breaking' things.

Apart from that, I couldn't find any standards on the web for converting
between RJ45 and BT 4pin (can't remember the name!) sockets, so I just
used the four middle pins (3456) of the RJ45, mapped to pins 2345 of the
BT wiring.  Doing it this way means that I can't run both BT and
ethernet down one wire (ethernet uses 1234 of cat5), but then I've put
enough cables in not to have to worry about that anyway.

Anyone out there know how it *should* be done?

Rgds,
Jake.

Hi,

I'm about to board the loft and wire every room in my house with Cat5.
At the same time I'd like to get my BT phone sockets intergrated into a
patch.

Is there anything I should be aware of before I attempt this? Do I still
need one master socket and then wire everything from that? Is there a
patch panel that can do the job for me? What would be the best way to do
it?

Any help anyone can provide will be most appreciated.

Thanks,

G
