OBI110 line port (RJ-11) to telephone line RJ-45 wall socket

dircom:
I have had trouble sticking a phone jack into an ethernet jack on my patch panel.

I would just install a phone jack for a more secure connection, (and save the ethernet jack)

Ash91:
Thanks for the reply guys. What if I make a rj11 to rj45 cable in order to connect it?
And as some said, can I just plug a RJ11 connector to a RJ45 socket? Wont it cause any problem? Do I need to check anything like the wiring of the wall socket before giving direct plug of RJ11 to Rj45? Thanks again :)

You can plug the RJ-11 into an RJ45 socket.  Just make sure you slide the plug dead center.  It's low voltage no damage will be done.  Also the RJ-11 plug is much smaller than than the RJ 45 socket make sure it's not going to be bumped by accident because the plug can get loose quiet easily. 

This is what you should do.  From Obi110 end plug the RJ11 dead center to the RJ-45 socket. From telephone end plug the RJ-11 dead center to RJ-45.  As long the RJ-45 is punched ethernet 568b standard you should be fine.

How many engineers does it take to screw in a light bulb, or, in this case, plug in a telephone cord?  This is an amusing thread.

Taoman, inetuser and Volta win the gold stars for the right answer.  Just do it.
