Please log in for more thread options I have a DSL outside splitter near the NID. I would like to have four voice extensions (one telephone number) installed in the house. After browsing the web, I've decided I want to use star topology. I already have the wires connected to the room jacks and pulled to the location where I want to centrally connect. What should I purchase to do this? A Wall Mount 110 Block seems to be over-kill. I also don't have access to a punch down tool, and they seem to be fairly expensive. Thanks in advance, Mike | ||||||||||||||||

That is adequate for the voice, but most people will recommend a separate home run from a POTS spitter to the wall jack by the DSL modem. I don't know if the star runs terminated by microfilters qualify as a bridge tap for the DSL signal; maybe somebody more experienced at POTS systems can chime in. -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint | ||||||||||||||||

The diagram included with phone wire junction boxes only show one 4-conductor cable. I want to run four 4-conductor cables, one to each jack. Will the TP039 do this, and if so how do I do the hook-up? | ||||||||||||||||

They're cheap too - no more than 20.00 : ) -- Lucas Tam (REMOVEnntp@rogers.com) Please delete "REMOVE" from the e-mail address when replying. http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/coolspot18/ | ||||||||||||||||

I like this item. See #8631 at this link http://www.smarthome.com/865104.html If you don't already have a filter, see item 865170 at the same link. Some CAT5 module kits have a 'limited use' plastic 110 punch tool included. In a pinch, I have used two flat screwdrivers to force the wire in and trim the ends. Hey, a quick google search - found a $13.00 tool... http://shop.store.yahoo.com/tmt/nonpuntoolwi.html -- Bob > I have a DSL outside splitter near the NID.
