Greetings, we have a client that is replacing their phone system with a Cisco UC520, at present 6 analogue lines come into the premises and are terminated on a distribution panel as per the image.

Now the UC520 uses Rj11 FXO Ports for analogue connections, would i be correct in thinking that we need to get BT to reterminate the existing connections onto faceplate's so that we can plug directly into the UC520 using Rj11 connections?
 
I tidier solution would be to patch it through to a rackmount patch panel. Either an RJ45 and use RJ45-RJ11 cables, or an RJ11 patch panel

Makes sense, thank you for your input, we need to install some additional Cat5 anyhow.

It's a damn sight cheaper too, especially if you have the skills/tools to do it in house. That way you can patch them straight through into the phone system, which I'm assuming will be in a rack.
 
ahhh there's a familiar sight, been a while since i've worked on the telephony side of things tho. we always used to get one of our contractors to make us up cables that were patch panels on one end, and krone strips on the other. double the size of the boxcon, mount the krones beneath the incoming lines presentation and then just jumper between them. nice neat solution, makes moves adds and changes soooo much simpler when your just working within a cabinet!
 
I would much prefer to use ISDN but the timescales are a little tight considering it can take between 14 and 30 days for install plus the cost.
