How can I convert RJ45 to RJ11?

Question

I got a new job where I sort of live at work (long story) and my new house has been fully wired with RJ45's instead of RJ11's because it was designed for VOIP instead of landlines since the telco didn't used to reach here (so I'm told). They do reach here now, and I want to switch our service from VOIP to landline because our stupid phone bills are over $700 for one voice line and one fax line. It's RIDICULOUS. My boss is having me get it all worked out...but since we're not wired for any RJ11's I'd PROBABLY just have to get something to convert the RJ45 ends (mostly Female, maybe some male) to RJ11's. I've searched a lot, and haven't found anything very helpful. :( I could run the computers through WEP/WPA but some are CURRENTLY using the RJ45's for internet too. :S HELP! I really want to reduce our monthly phone bills $600+ per month to use that budget money elsewhere!

Answer 1

Tidejwe: RJ 11was single line jack, RJ14 is 2 line jk & most Rj 11's today are 2 line. The RJ45 jk is just 8 wires, 4 pair. I am sure you can just plug in a 4 wire mounting cord into the RJ45 to get both line 1 & line 2. Line 1 will be on jk pins 4&5. Line 2 will be on pins 3&6.Line 1 should be Blue pair. Line 2 canbe either Orange pair or Green pair. Your present RJ45 jk is wired either 568A or 568B. You can GOTO Google: RJ45 jack wiring.
