I have wired out house to T586B, and just about finished all the faceplates.
After advice here picked up a good deal on some 24 way 19" patch panels from eBAY. (Cat5e mint condition for £3.5 each)
The room outlets will go to one patch panel (misc), and the other (audio)will be wired so that 12 ways are parallel for home line and the other 12 for business line ... as per Keith’s picture on
Interested in knowing the neat way to bring in the phone lines .. They currently terminate of course at BT master sockets ..( 2 separate sockets)
I have a cat 5e cable also run to the rear of these sockets to Node zero
Should I simply punch down cat5 at BT master socket this cable would then terminate on one of the misc patch panel ways … then plug ADSL filter into patch panel front socket (crimp on RJ45 plug instead of BT431) then take phone line out of filter to input of one of the parallel sockets (voice patch panel) …
Don't know how to put an image in line - so loaded it to : http://tinyurl.com/sr9zz
Or should I plug filter in at BT master socket and run a patch lead from filter to patch panel?
Just wondering what is neatest – obviously many out there who have done this.
