I will be laying an ethernet cable into a room in my house. There is already a phone extension running into this room, but since I don't want two sets of wires, I was hoping I'd be able to use the redundant copper in a Cat5e cable to carry the phone signal as well.

I can't think of any easy way of bodging the cable to carry the phone signal. Are there adapters available out there? I'd be looking for something along the lines of RJ45 + RJ11 ---> RJ45 on both ends of the cable. ...if that makes sense...
 
I thought only two pairs inside the ethernet cable are utilised? Is this not the case?
 
Thanks for the info Phemo. In that case, I think I'll just stick with two separate cables, for the sake of futureproofing.
