Install
two multi-jack plates in each office (on non-adjacent walls)
one multi-jack plate in each cubicle
two multi-jack plates on walls with heavy fax & printer use
Panel that breaks out the 25 pair station cable into individual USOC 6p6c extension ports. Ortronics makes a nice one.
From the KX-TD install 25 pair cables to the USOC patch panel
From each plate location pull 4 CAT-5e cables (plenum if necessary) back to the net-room. Terminate the plate end in a 8p8c jack wired TIA-568B Terminate the net-room end in a CAT-5e patch panel TIA-568B.
Then, each jack can be used for:
10/100/1000 Base-T ethernet (four twisted pairs)
IP phone (same as ethernet)
Serial line (four pairs via a adapter which keeps TD and RD in a pair with ground)
POTS Telephone (one pair)
Proprietary telephone (two pairs)
Old Panasonic Proprietary telephone (third pair is split between two twisted pairs in the cable)
fax (one pair)
Use CAT-5 patch cords to connect between the panel and a 10/100 ethernet switch.
Use CAT-3 patch cords with 6p6c connectors in a USOC configuration to connect between the panel and the USOC panel. Use standard USOC RJ-14 cables between the jacks at the plate and the phones.
This has enabled incredible flexibility. At the old office with 10 plates * 4 jacks on each plate, 25 were in use for phone, fax, ethernet, and, serial lines. The new suite is 20% larger but is wired more completely so that there are 21 plates.

I'm one of those masochists that reprograms the extension numbers corresponding
to KX-TD jacks. We tend to play musical chairs in this office and it's
actually easier (IMO) than moving loops on the phone board. Not too bad as
long as you remember to use extensions 265-290 as placeholders while you move
between screens.
For our voicemail, we're using the standard extension 165. We have a 4-port card, so it's actually extensions 165 through 168. I've got it physically connected to jacks 15 and 16 in the KSU.
It's been a couple of months since I've been in the station programming and one
thing I notice is that for jacks 15-1, 15-2, 16-1 and 16-2, the assigned
extensions are 115, 215, 116 and 216. Is there any potential conflict here
with the voicemail system? Should the extensions be set to 165-168 (or would
THAT cause problems)?
Thanks, Jim
