(which are peeling/falling off) are v-# for voice and d-# for data.
users have no idea what that means, nor where to plug their phone in,
where to plug their computers in. I bought some 6pin cheap jacks a
while back, and they were even 8pos with 6 wires. Bah.
It might make more sense for me to do 6pin voice-grade jacks for where
you need voice and then one cat5 port. All the wire is cat5 though. If
my needs ever change just re-terminate the station side and i'll be all set.

Oh yeah, still cat5 4-pr run for voice & data, with the brown pair
just wraped back along the jacket. No point in doing anything less,
If they move to a voice-architecture that requires 8-pin jacks, you'll
probably have issues with a majority of the jacks used by RJ11s, and
replace them anyway. |
