Telephone Over Ethernet Adaptors

[jellybeard999]

I have finally managed to wire up my secondary telephone socket and now need to adapt this to run over ethernet.

I have my secondary phone socket inside the rack cupboard, with an ethernet socket next to it for phone and internet. The ethernet sockets all run to the patch panel. The intention is to run the phone to the adjacent network point and a patch cable to distribute to the relevant socket in the house. I hope this is making sense.

I have cut a bt telephone extension (male to female) which was lying around in my dads box of old cables and crimped each end with a rj45 plug.

Essentially, this now runs;

Phone outlet - filter - adaptor - network point - patch cable linking points on panel - network point - adaptor - phone cable - Phone

The phone directly into the filter works fine.

Any suggestions? I thought this should work, and connecting each ends of the adaptor and testing on a cable tester shows the 4 cables in the adaptor are working fine and in the same order. Research mentions ring capacitors and such, but as I'm just extending the cable, is that relevant?

If it makes any difference, the phones are BT Graphite DECT; nothing fancy.

EDIT - solved - the cables I made up worked perfectly, the manufactured patch cable was dodgy :/

This site is quite a good resource for Phone Wiring
You only need two wires to make your phone work, as long as they arrive in the intended order you shouldn't have any issues running them over ethernet cable and through a patch panel.
