Question by Jack Shugart posted 15 Aug 2006 | | ISDN RJ11 to RJ45 | I just got ISDN 128k service installed to my house, now I have to run the cable to the ISDN modem.
The phone company box has a RJ11 jack for the ISDN, but the incoming port on the ISDN Modem is a RJ45.
Can someone tell me the correct pinout for the jacks? |  |
Answer by Dmitri Abaimov posted 15 Aug 2006 | Dear Jack,
If you are in US or Canada, chances are you are getting an ISDN-U variety of service from the phone company which works over a single pair. The pair used is the two central conductors in both RJ11 and RJ45 interfaces. Actually, I believe that by RJ45 you mean simply an 8 pin 8 conductor plug/jack interface that is commonly referred to as RJ45. Actually RJ45 stands for a particular pin payout.
In any case you should be able to get away with simply plugging an RJ11-RJ11 cord into both devices. It should fit nicely inside the 8 pin jack as well.
Sincerely,
Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD |
