Posted February 28, 2020 Hi guys, I just need to ask a quick question, How can I join these cables together one is a standard UTP Cat5e ethernet and the other is a standard and i think an Rj11 dsl cable (image below)? Any tips, trips and instructions would help so much! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 28, 2020 @MatDoak - Is this for a voice only connection? If not, I'm confused as to what you're trying to achieve. At a guess and I may be wrong but I'd expect you to connect the blue wire from the CAT5 to the green wire and the blue/white(CAT5) to the orange wire.

Posted February 28, 2020 Buy a RJ-45 keystone jack and wire it up according to the pin-out on the other end of the Cat5e cable (most today are T568-B). The RJ-11 jack will plug into the RJ-45 port and make contact with the 4 center pins. Is there a reason you need an adapter cable like this? You need to be careful because it won't enable analog equipment to work on a switched network.

Posted February 28, 2020 It depends what you are trying to do, each pin does something different.

Would this work for a standard dsl connection?, say from an ethernet output to a dsl input on a modem/router? (Again just experimenting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
