I have currently have a PRI running to a PBX with Cat5e cable and am needing to add a call recording server (Oaisys) which comes with a Dual T1/PRI voice board. We are needing to do trunk-side recording, and the vendor's documentation specifies to use a RJ-45 Y-jack to split the PRI coming from the demarc, with one cable going to the PBX and the other cable (cross-over) going to the voice board on the server.
However it does not specify the exact type of Y-jack to use, and most of them I've found in local stores seem to be for splitting the 4 pairs in a Cat5 cable into 2 sets of 2 pairs at both ends to avoid making an extra cable run which I'm almost positive will not work in this application.
My gut is telling me this is the wiring diagram I need for the splitter, as it doesn't try to split the pairs and move them to different positions like many of the consumer splitters do and simply duplicates everything:
Also I don't particularly like using such a flimsy device for this application that will just be floating around and was hoping I could get suggestions on something that might be a little more reliable and solid (at the very least something I can mount) as well as suggestions on what proper Y-adapter would be called for. Thank you for any help that you can provide.
