Answer 1

it is called a CAT5E 4 pair. you only need to use the blue and white pair. the rest is spare pairs. you don't need to buy CAT6 or CAT6A this is for high speed Internet. and there is not many people using it. plus the cost is more for the CAT6 cable what are your plans for the RJ-45. are you putting this in a house?

OK!  

You MIGHT consider upgrading to CAT6!!!

:)

BUT, I'll try to help you, or at least point you in the right direction :

This site tells you how to do the split.  You basically need a pair cable (they suggest blue and white) and route to your jack.

Here is a site with the directional map of the cables too.

and a site with some much more detailed technical documents : (you have to click accept their terms first for this one to work)

Hope this helps, but I think the middle two wires are the phone.  You can also get a filter too, which can connect Cat cables to phone cables.  

Good luck and keep us posted on how the project works out!
