Bit confused on what jacks I need to convert phone line sockets to ethernet.

[wigster]

I'm in a new build FTTP, I want to convert the phone sockets so I can have a working ethernet in the bedroom, it's cat 5e cable when I popped off the plates, I know I'm going to need a switch as the phone sockets are daisychained.

I'm not sure what modules I need to get, someone mentioned I would need a double keystone jack.

Is that bottom port in the picture not an rj45?

Is that bottom port in the picture not an rj45?

All my pictures have got a bit messed up.

Here is the face plates + cables

The first two pictures has RJ45 and phone point, the other two is just for the tv/sky and phone. The last picture is the bedroom one and that's where I need to have the ethernet connection.

The second picture is in the livingroom and so is the third accept that's at the other end of the livingroom.

At the moment I have the ONT patch cable going into the router and then port one patch cable is going into the RJ45 socket, So then I can connect my TV to the RJ45 in the livingroom.

I know there isn't any need for it, I thought I might be able to push new cables through but I can't.

It's a flat so I'm limited in how I can have it hard wired in the bedroom, only other option is using flat cat5e under the carpet from the router but that means going around some corners, and it would be bit of a pain to get it underneath and into the bedroom.

It's annoying!

I did similar, took phone sockets off, cat5e cable there, replaced with RJ45 plates (wiring up the extra pairs).

That's my problem as you see from the pictures the phone plates have dual ports for sky and TV aerial. My brain has packed up and I can't figure out what I need lol

The bedroom one would be easy as it has only one cable but the others has two cables.

You need to terminate each cable on its own outlet and then either use a short patch cable to link them together, or put a switch there with both ports plugged in if you want to connect other devices at that location.

I knew they had to be terminated separately but it did confuse me when someone told me you could buy a twin keystone that goes into the original faceplate, so I wouldn't need to make another hole in the wall for another outlet.

I think I get what the chap might of been suggesting, if I don't use the aerial point in the living room I could pop it out and replace that with a keystone RJ45 without the need of getting another RJ45 plate put in.

Does that sound about right? as it is true I don't use the aerial point.

Then it would only leave this point as the problem.

The cat5 to the phone can be used but if your in a flat I assume the other end of the aerial will be connected a community attennae

If you have access to a cable tester like a fluke or something else you can put a tone one end while you trace the other, it would be handy

Yes that's right the aerial and sky is all connected as a community setup, something I will never use. I was going to get a cheap cable tracer before I get all of the keystones, Just incase of some other weird layout as I have noticed the cable in the bedroom is a patch cable and there is no sign of that cable in any other sockets, so it maybe joined somewhere.
