systems using punch-block connectors. This type of installation should be performed by
an experienced wiring technician.
• Trunk connections — The majority of B5800 Branch Gateway trunk ports use RJ45
connectors for acceptance of an RJ45-to-RJ45 cable. However, connection at the line
provider's end may require use of a different plug type in order to match the line providers
equipment.
• RJ11 phone connectors — Many phones use RJ11 sockets and are supplied with RJ11-
to-RJ11 cables. RJ11 plugs can be inserted into RJ45 sockets and in many case the
connection will work. However this is not recommended or supported as the connection
lock is not truly positive and may become disconnected. An RJ45-to-RJ11 cable is
available for these connections.
