What is this cable called....

The one that allows you to put both an Ethernet cable and a phone one into a single port that then goes into your Ethernet port on the wall. What is this called?

You phone would need to be cabled into a phone system at the other end... for example in the office here we have standard ethernet ports that deal with both phone and data. phone connections are cabled into our pbx. all the rest go from patch pannel to switch. I guess that you are after sharing both connections down a single ethernet?

That's what I thought, but these seem to do phone cable splits into Ethernet and phone. What I have is an Ethernet port. And I want to somehow plug a phone in...

As Vince B1 said, the phone will have to be linked to something, internal PBX or out to a BT exchange.

Yeah. Well kind of.

We' re in a student flat and have telephone line in. This splits into modem, and telephone. Telephone then goes off to what seems like more ethernets somehow and a telephone in our living room. We then all have about three Ethernet ports in our room. However I'm trying to plug in a phone to one of these Ethernet ports... I think one of them does work as voice...
Our landlords tell us we can put phones in our room, but didn't explain how, and it is useless waiting for them to sort it out as if I was going to do this I'd have to do it by tomorrow....

You mean a PBX master (or BT to RJ45 Adaptors)? Should have an RJ45 male end (to plug in to a wall) and a BT female on the other end (bit you plug phone in to)

Sounds like they have wired a load of phone extensions (all working off the same master point) into each room. Sounds viable enough seen as its what I have at home. Only down side might be that your house mates can listen in. As I think we have discovered you need one of those rj45 to bt converter thingies.

I think you are talking about one of these ?

STP Port doublers. You can then use an RJ45 male to female PABX adaptor for connecting your phone.

You have one at each end, each path uses two of the four pairs of wires in the connecting cable. Will only allow 100Mbit though (Gigabit needs all four pairs).

Yeah this was absolutely what I needed. Just stole the phone from down stairs, so thankfully no one else can listen in
