Hey! I just picked up 750 ft of what was advertised on craigslist as rj45 cable, but i got home and opened the box to find it is all RJ25 cable (used for running 3 phones off of one line). It was free, so no lost money woes, but it is frustrating!
My question is: Can i buy some rj45 connectors and crimp the wire to Ethernet standards? I looked up the pin out for cat5 cable and it looks as though only 4 of the wires are actually used in the cable.. I hate to throw all of this cable away.
Any thoughts?
