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. |
