Hi All,

I have run cat 6 cables to all rooms in my house all terminated in a
comms cupboard.Â* 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.Â* 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.Â* So
far I have thought of the following
1. Create patch cables with RJ45 one end and BT socket the other.Â* 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.Â* 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

Shame about the lousy description - it gives the impression that you can
split ethernet with it, when in reality its only of any practical use in
a few limited voice application... something a good few of the reviewers
have obviously not grasped!
