OBI110 line port (RJ-11) to telephone line RJ-45 wall socket
Ash91:
Hello everyone,
I just purchased OBI 110 and would like to use it in my home. But the problem is with my PSTN wall socket type is RJ45. I read many posts on this, and most of them recommend to use a RJ-11 to RJ-45 cable. But I dont find any cables or adapters for RJ-11 to RJ-45 around my place. So I wanted to know is there any other way in order to solve this? Thanks in advance

I don't understand what answer you are expecting to get. It that RJ45 socket is really your only PSTN socket then the only options are:
1. Buy a cable or adaptor.
2. Make your own cable.
3. Replace the wall socket.

An RJ-11/RJ-14 plug will mate just fine with an RJ-45 receptacle.
If the center two pins of the RJ-45 receptacle are wired to your PSTN line, everything will be fine.
Taoman:
As InetUser said, an RJ11 modular plug will plug right into an RJ45 jack with no problem. As long as the jack is wired and terminated correctly for PSTN it should work without issue.

I would be cautious putting an RJ11 into a RJ45 socket. The RJ11 has high plastic walls on either side of the 2/4 pins. That can raise the associated pins up higher than desired and perhaps pop them out of the slots. While that will not cause a problem with the RJ11 plug, an RJ45 inserted after the fact may not have those metal pins to connect to.
