Re: Structured Cable
I believe it would go BT socket > funny thing > patch panel > wire > socket > funny thing > phone.

Tell me if I am wrong but is how I would do it.

But funny thing is plug to socket.
Bt socket to patch panel requires plug to plug - is this a custom cable? Am I the only person in the UK who wants to do this?

Re: Structured Cable
I am sure there are people who have done this sort of thing. I think it is straight forward but a case of trial and error.

Re: Structured Cable
I have done this before, for a simple bt socket to patch panel, you need to take an bt extension lead, cut the female off and then take the two wires (there are four you only need two.. and connect them to an RJ45 plug in the middle, if memory serves me right... i cant remeber the colours off hand.. if no one has the answer before I get back i will pop into my customers and check what whent where..

Re: Structured Cable
Thanks - The company I have bought those thingys from are making me up four of the leads you describe to match the pin wiring of the thingys. It just felt like I was explaining a totally new concept to them and that perhaps there was another way.

Re: Structured Cable
Building a structured cable network...

Would anyone find this a useful topic for the knowledge base.

Anyway - places I would recommend.

www.screwfix.com
Item 87654
12 Port Patch Panel
No need for racks or cabinets - this 12-port, 10" Soho Patch Panel is ready to use and will fit on a wall or fixture. Fits 6 Keystone Jacks into a module. Write-on designation label and coloured module blocks. Mounting bracket supplied.

I got two of these as they seem good value and I needed a maxiumim of 24 ports.

Item - 67571
Punch Down Tool
Handy, disposable tool for quick stripping and punch down work. Strips round UTP cable. Can insert 24 AWG cable into Keystone Jack wall outlets.

The cable stripping side works really well.

http://www.cableuniverse.co.uk/catal...62aacaf4730b82
Got all the wall boxes from them - very good - quick delivery even with Royal Mail
Good telephone help too. Confirmed all the boxes were B colour coded.


www.ebuyer.com
Patch cables - pointless making your own IMHO. The crimp tool costs too much.

More to follow.

I got my CAT5e cable from here

The advantage is they do different colours - including white, though you pay a little more - if you are running this stuff in visible locations, e.g. baseboards, you need the white not the grey or it looks nasty.
