Hello All:


ATT advised me to go to cat 5 with my telephone wiring to improve DSL
connectivity.


I've got a new dual phone receptacle to accommodate the DSL modem and
a phone simultaneously.


Here is what I got:http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...uctDisplay?lan...


I looked up online at various sites as to how to wire, but cannot
figure out the receptacle end.


Her is what the back of my receptacle looks like:

How do I connect the cat 5 wires to this receptacle?


Thanks,

P.S.: I found this at the Ace H/W site but it sis not make sense.


You do notr make sense either. Â*The output from the telco line goes to
a splitter which has telephone output and digital output. Â*The digital
output then goes to a modem or some means of connecting the digitasl
output to a computer,- Hide quoted text -

Hello:

There is no "splitter" involved when using DSL. Are you thinking of
the filters?

After the receptacle works, I will attach a filter to one of the jacks
and attach the phone there. The problem I am having is figuring out
the back of the receptacle. The receptacle has solid colored wires and
only two pairs of them. The cat 5 cable has striped lines and four
pairs of them.

Chose a pair. Say orange/orange-white and call the orange green and
the orange-white green. Wire up one set. Do the same with, say blue/
blue-white for the red/green on the other set. Then use the , say,
brown/brown-white as the black/green on one set, etc untill you are
done. You really only need one pair per jack - the second pair is for
"line 2".
