If you need to add a panel-mount connection for telephone-interfacing projects, but don't have the time or ability to cut a custom oval or square hole, this RJ-12 or RJ-11 Telephone Round Panel Mount Extension Cable is the easiest and fastest way to panel-ify your existing phone kit. It's about 30mm in diameter, so you can drill a hole in your wood, plastic or metal with a common hole-saw or bit, no special shapes or filing required. Un-screw the plastic nut, insert the plug and re-attach. Ta-da: Now you have an RJ-12 jack with an RJ-12 plug. The plug has the exact same wire order as the jack so its a full pass-through connection.

Note that RJ-11 and RJ-12 use the same connector! The difference is RJ-11 has only 4 wires inserted, RJ-12 has all 6. So you can use this adapter for either. Note this is not compatible with RJ-45 Ethernet Jacks or plugs, those are bigger and have more contacts.

• It's designed to easily attach to a panel up to 16mm thick (or 0.625"), or as thin as a few mm. Perfect for adding an Ethernet port to your project enclosure! We like this adapter in particular for its solid body and 'forgiving' plastic lip that hides the drill hole.

Package Includes:

• 1 x Adafruit 5844 RJ-12 or RJ-11 Telephone Round Panel Mount Extension Cable
