Hey folks, So I need to put three of these into three of these: the electrician wired my father's office rather shoddily, and put RJ45 heads on to cables that have to go into RJ11 sockets. Are there adaptors out there, or do I have to go and rewire it all? Please and thank you. WP.

If you want to do a neater job at it you can buy RJ11 plugs and a crimper (you can get kits on eBay with punch tool, cable testers and everything), or just replace the RJ11 sockets with RJ45 ones (you'll need a punch down tool and maybe wire strippers).

There are no side effects of using RJ45 for telephone equipment as long as you wire it the same way you would a RJ11 plug.
