branch rj11

[wrmedia]

2 cables come into living room - both cat5 - one for LAN for rj45 the other for 2 telephone lines sharing the same rj11 keystone

how can I branch off from this rj11 keystone with another piece of cat5 in the wall to the bedroom to access the same 2 lines or do I need another sort of jack?

thanx

there are a couple things you can do.
run the bedroom cable into the box. take the 2 cat 5 cables and 2 pairs of cross connect wire or just 2 pairs of cat 5 and splice them together with Beanies or Scotchloks. Then punch down the 2 pairs to the jack.

or you can just get a splitter, plug it into the living room jack. then put a plug on the bedroom jack and plug it into the splitter. jeff moss
