1357861	2013-10-25 01:22:00	So it appears Chorus is now wiring up xDSL master splitters to RJ45 wall jacks. (Someone has anyway.) As far as I know there isn't a wiring standard for this - is there a way to know what would be the correct cable to use with this type of setup? Obviously one of these (www.pbtech.co.nz)then a BT to RJ11 cable can be used, but how do we know that it's all wired up right? The other thing we can do is chop off the BT end of a 4 core BT-RJ11 cable, and whip a RJ-45 jack on the end, but again, how to we know what the correct wiring configuration should be? Thanks.	wratterus (105)

Or buy an RJ11 to RJ45 cable here www.cablesdirect.co.nz Some modem/routers actualy take an RJ45 in the xDSL port, Fritz!Box is one.	Alex B (15479)
1357863	2013-10-25 02:42:00	Yeah I just plug in the RJ11 -> wall socket, works fine.	Chilling_Silence (9)
1357864	2013-10-25 03:06:00	Yeah I just plug in the RJ11 -> wall socket, works fine. Don't do it!! As Alex says that will damage the RJ45. Ive seen too many sites where fones have had RJ11 plugs on them plugged into structured cable RJ45 jacks and when they have wanted to use them for LAN jacks they don't work.. Spend a dollar or two on the correct cable..	paulw (1826)
