Phones and Cat5 Patch (Was: Re: Wiring question...)

[Ross McKillop <home@xxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Just a quick question that sort of follows on from this, what is the
best/easiest way to distribute phones around the house... I have
incoming lines in node zero (currently just bare ends - no master
socket).

Can I just connect the pair wires across 4 ports on a patch panel (i
dont know if that made sense the way i said it) to create 4 ports that
are all on the same line, and then patch house sockets into this all
with PSTN Master RJ45 -> Phone adaptors

-or-

Would it be better to have a master socket with the three wires coming
out of that (normally for an extension) connected across the patch
panel ports and use regular adaptors?

And is it that simple (daisy-chaining the ports) or do i need some
other way of connecting them to the patch bay..

(the annoying thing is I work with these things all the time at work
but there it all goes through a PABX first, and the incoming lines are
all ISDN30, so it's not a case of applying knowledge there to the home
world ... unless I get ISDN30 installed :P

Thanks
Ross
