Hello,
Apologies as I think this may have been covered in other threads which I found, but they confused me so I'd like to ask again:-
I have an RJ45 socket wired with cat5 like this:-
1 white/orange
2 orange
3 white/green
4 blue
5 white/blue
6 green
7 white/brown
8 brown
I'm thinking of using it as a phone socket so which of these 8 wires would I put where when I run them back to my telephnoe master socket? I notice that my BT telephone master has six IDC terminals numbered 1-6 and my Virgin telephone master has four numbered 2-5. Do these numberes correspond directly to the RJ45 wiring? I've read somewhere that only 4 wires are needed anyway.
Also, my plan was to use an adapter plugged into the RJ45 socket so that I can plug a BT phone in. I notice that there are at least 3 types of adapter available at one major retailer:-
UN27E - full master w/ line protection,
UN28F PABX master w/o line protection,
UN28G PABX slave
Does anyone know which would be appropriate please?
I hope that's enough info and that it makes sense.
Thanks in advance.
