This is my first post on this sub, and I’m not very experienced, so bear with me please. If there are any questions, I’ll do my best to answer them.We’re moving the home office, which requires two telephone ports (fax and telephone). Since the router can’t be moved, those devices can’t be plugged in directly into it anymore.The room that should become the new office luckily already has a cable that’s marked “phone” in the plans running from the phone jack where the router is plugged in to the new room. It’s a twelve core cable. Since the phone cables only have four cores afaik, I was wondering if it’d be possible to use this cable for those two devices.I was thinking of mounting two TAE outlets (German telephone plugs) in the new office and two RJ11 outlets on each end of the cable. Then, I’d plug two RJ11 to TAE into the router’s TAE ports.Now, I was wondering if there’s a better solution for this... Also, can I terminate four cores of the cable into one phone jack and four different cores into another jack without problems?Or can I not use this cable at all? Any help is appreciated. I’m very inexperienced regarding telephone wiring, so I’m not sure what the best choice is.BTW, I have VOIP with a Telekom DSL router, that “emulates” an analog telephone signal over the TAE ports. I can’t daisy-chain the phone to the fax, since they have different phone numbers assigned to them. via /r/DIY http://bit.ly/2vaDPxf
