 rj45 to rj11
Hi, I want to know if you can covert an rj45 lead to a rj11 type to connect hardware without damaging the wire.
I have read the other questions replies about the rj11 to rj45 conversion but didn`t understand if it will work the other way around.
I live in the uk and it will need to connect from an rj45 into a rj11 connector on a adsl modem.
Thanks for your time,
yours sincerely

Dear Kyle,
The easiest way to do this is to use an RJ-45 to RJ-45 female coupler and an RJ-11 to RJ-11 cord. You should be able to pick these up in your local Radio Spares shop. This will not cause any damage to either cable


Sincerely,
