I've got a run of Shielded Twisted Pair (4 conductors) which used to be a Token Ring Network drop and I'm not using it anymore. Would it be decent to replace the ends with normal analog phone connectors and use it for a phone extension, or is STP unsuitable for that?
I've always reckoned you can "get away" with just about anything for analogue phones - especially internal wiring. After-all, a POTS line from the exchange has just come over who knows how many miles of aged copper wires, so a few meters more in the building of reasonable quality cable isn't going to hurt it! (and if you're re-originating it from an in-house PBX then you're starting with a near perfect signal again)
What I would pay attention to is the connectors though - I've seen these cause more problems - especially for ADSL lines...
