RE: wiring standards

["Nigel Giddings" <nigel.giddings@xxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

If you are thinking purely telephone why not follow BT practice and use
a small Krone Frame

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2590862627&category
=4660

These can be picked up cheaply, see above, and could handle 20 pairs.
Normal telephone cable is 3 pairs. If that's not enough mount two next
to each other...

RJ45 frames are great, but more expensive and more difficult to install.
To use RJ45 properly you would need to install CAT5e (not too expensive)
and RJ45 wall sockets as well (a bit more than BT wall sockets). You
also need RJ45 patch cables as opposed to simple Jumper wire on a Krone
Frame. It depends what you want.

I personally use both, a 340 Pair Krone Frame, and 144 way RJ45 patch
panel. I know which is easier to terminate...

HTH

Subject: RE: [ukha_d] wiring standards

I've decided to take the tangle/mess of cat 5 cabling in my cupboard
which
is currently my phone system and do something about it.  I've currently
got
two lines running into the house with 2 or 3 extensions on each line.
It is
a real mess and really just a bunch of soldered wiring.

My idea is to install some sort of patch panel (rj45) in the cupboard.
Each
extension will be rj45 terminated at the cupboard end with a standard BT
socket at the other ( room side ).  I can then simply plug the relevant
connector into the relevant patch panel to bring the phone socket
online.

Does anyone have any ideas about standard patch panel wiring ? I would
rather start with some standard now that can also be used for data/adsl
in
the future.
