As we
said before, chances are that you are going to have a dedicated line for internet
sessions, whether a regular analog line or an ADSL line. You will want to make this line
available in multiple outlets around your home. If you install a PBX phone system, do not
connect this line to the phone system. (The ADSL splitter box will
deliver a separate data line aside from the voice line anyway). Run your
data line directly from the central distribution point
to the chosen outlets. Most PBX phone systems will significantly slow down your
connections
below
ratings of 28.8 kbauds, if you connect your modems as extensions of the
PBX. Make your data line available in a separate jack at the chosen
outlets, direct from the main distribution point. If you
install a telephone intercom system, in a scenario where you plan to have only one voice
phone line, it is recommended that you make available the one pair of wires which will
carry the dial tone (tip and ring) along with one spare pair of wires to a specific jack
at all outlets. This jack will be a 6-conductor jack. You can either let the other two
pairs of the cable unconnected or terminate them to a second jack at the outlets. It is
always best to terminate your wires to a jack. Beware that the minimum amount of wire
pairs that you can run in an installation is two, even if you plan to have one phone line
and no exchange equipment (phone switching equipment) at all. So, at a minimum, two pairs of wire must be
present in your dedicated phone jacks.
Let us now
specifically consider the details of how you run your
inside
wires, in other words, your wiring
topology.
There
is
3
types
of
layout
for
phone
wiring:
Daisy-chain,
Home-run
and
Mixed.
Daisy
chain
wiring
or
serial wiring is when you run just one chain of cable throughout your home
connecting one
phone
jack
to the next. It is
simple,
very economic in wire,
and
will
also
save
you
the
cost
of
a
patch
panel.
Also
less
vulnerable
to
induced
static
and
noise
over
your
lines
because
of
reduced wireruns.
If
you
have
a
large
home
and
plan
to
install
any
one
of
our
intercom
systems,
daisy-chaining
is
all
you
need.
On
the
other
hand,
Home
run
wiring
or
star
topology
is
a
wiring
method
whereby
you
run an individual cable from each outlet to one single location (the utility room).
It
takes
more
wire
than
daisy
chain
and
typically
requires
a
patch
panel
(junction
Block),
all
of
which
makes
it
more
costly
than
daisy
chaining.
However,
it
gives
you
significantly
more
flexibility.
Mixed wiring
is
a
mix
of
daisy
chain
and
home
run
wiring
in
any
pattern
that
you
find
suitable.
