With all of the other POTS cables being CAT3, (and not experiencing any crosstalk), I figured that I might as well separate the two lines.

Now this brings up an interesting point. The daycare that leases space from us is has two POTS lines (1 voice & 1 fax) and two DSL feeds.

It seems that New England Telephone ran both phone lines from the telephone closet to the other side of the building via one JK and the other cable just has the voice line.

The distance between the phone closet (aka my office) and the daycare's areas is, roughly, 70' to 80'. I'm surprised that, after 30+ years, that nobody from the daycare hasn't complained about fax/data bleeding onto the voice line.

Then again, they had wall phone plugged in without a DSL filter for many years. A few months ago, I grabbed an unused filter and connected it to the phone for them on a day when they were closed.
