Good Afternoon

​

Maybe a bit of an odd question but as I’ve alluded to in other posts I’m in the process of swapping out phones form our legacy PBX to voip handsets on a hosted could solution.

We have some phones that are wall mounted and I’ve found with some that getting a standard cat 5/6 cable into the back of the phone and getting it flush on the wall is not easy.

Would cutting an old phone cable and putting RJ45’s on it in a 10/100 pin out work?
Probably 30cm/12" or less just to get form a socket in the wall out to the handset?

​

Thanks

    This would work and have the benefit of not having to even replace the phones that exist.

    The other route OP could take would be to get some rather good commercial wireless AP’s. You still have to sort out power but the phones can go anywhere.

    But for wall mounted modern phones, it’s just easier to run ethernet from a powered switch. Then it’s just 1 cable per phone gives you the power and network.
