Hi folks,
Over the last few years I’ve had Virgin for Tv, phone and BB. But have looked at getting Sky installed as the fantastic offer they are given, which makes it cheaper than Virgin. I read that each of Sky’s multiroom boxes needs to be connected to the phone line. This causes me a problem, as I would need to have 5 boxes (2x HD+ for lounge and master) 3x HD for kids bedroom, but only have one phone point located in the lounge. So I was thinking of splitting the phone using a patch panel with cat5 cable. So I would need to have 6 telephone points around the house. The house is being refurbished at the moment.I have done some research, If I understand correctly, it would be setup as follows:
Master phone socket - BT rj45 to rj11 cable to - telephone host panel
Telephone host panel – cat5 patch cable to -> patch panel
From each port on the patch panel comes one cat5 cable to a phone socket in each of the locations where the Sky multiroom can connect too.
Would that be correct? Found some info from Wiseman networking.
