Re: BT to RJ45 convertors



I've often seen them labelled as Master, Secondary & PABX so I
assume
the PSTN reference is actually a Master version. Keith would probably
have the definitive answer though...

You'd use a Secondary adaptor after plumbing in your master socket
into the patch panel - in the same way you'd install a Secondary
socket from B&Q as an extension of your master socket (if you hadn't
embarked on this whole UKHA / Cat5 escapade.... ;-)  )

PSTN? Maybe if you didn't have an NTE5 faceplate (master socket), just
a wiring junction box and you wanted to relocate the master socket
elsewhere (master socket includes some lightning protection and
separates out the ring signal IIRC).

PABX - to be used with a PABX (!) IIRC some PABXs make use of 6-core
"BT" cable in place of the more normal 4-core. Maybe the adaptors
have
6-core cable/pins?

I'm using the secondary adaptors in the link I posted previously as
I've taken my phone feed to my patch panel from the front of an NTE5
faceplate into my patch panel via a butchered BT extension cable.

HTH,

Tim.
