asked on

cat 6 - is it possible to get a splitter to user the same port for ehternet and phone ?

I want a phone and Ethernet connection using the same cable, is it possible using a bought splitter at either end?  Is there a cat with two tails adapter - one with an rj11 and the other a rj45?

I believe only 4 of the cables are used for Ethernet and 2 for a phone.

Can I use the one cable?

Thanks

Why not using VoIP?

Misusing CAT6 means wasting money.

Can I buy a cat with two tail that Wil do the job.

Male rj45 at one end and female x1 RJ45 and 1x rj11 at the other. One would go in the patch panel and the other in the room

No interest in VOIP, just want a standard phone

It's a mates modern house. It's to be wired but I'm imagining a numbered patch panel at the area where the modem and phone lines are and face plates in each room

The wires have been fed and now need to be terminated.  There will be a need for a standard phone in one or two rooms and some accesspoints for broadband
