Default Phone sockets to patch panel

Hi All,

I have run cat 6 cables to all rooms in my house all terminated in a comms cupboard. The BT master socket is in another room and again a cat 6 cable is run from it to the comms cupboard terminated with a BT socket. In the comms cupboard I have terminated all cat 6 cables in a patch panel.

So, the question is how best to I connect the 3 patch panel ports which are connected to phone sockets in rooms to the BT socket. So far I have thought of the following
1. Create patch cables with RJ45 one end and BT socket the other. The connect these into the BT socket via a normal phone splitter
2. Create a 3 way cable by having 3 cables with RJ45 connectors one end and the other ends all soldered together. Then solder this onto a phone cable connected to BT socket
3. I tried looking for a RJ45 splitter (RJ45 version of a normal phone one) but couldn't find one

Neither of which seem ideal. Anyone have any better ideas?

Also, I assume I have to terminate the cable from the BT master socket in a BT socket rather than terminate it in the patch panel?

Thanks in advance for your help

Lee.


How about a BT socket to RJ45 adapter and then
