Can someone tell me where one can find a wall jack (8 pin) for a voip phone. We have a job coming up that we are putting a panduit jack on the end of the wire. Then we are using a wall mount plate to hang the phone on. It works but we have to butcher up a standard jack to use the wall plate of the jack. We are using two jacks to hang a phone.
I am hoping that someone can help and thanks for the replies.

have you asked the VOIP phone manufacturer what they suggest/recommend ?
The Polycom phones have a bracket that you turn upside down on the phone that lets you wall-hang them with two screws. Here you just use a regular faceplate and mount the phone over top of it in such a way that you can plug it in.
If the VoIP phone manufacturers had any idea about the telephone business thay would have figured this out. Just take a hammer and bust a hole in the wall behind the phone, press a plug onto the end of the cable and plug it directly into the phone.
This way the installation will be equal to the way the phone works.

How many of these jacks do you need? I am pretty sure that I have them if you find that you will need them. Just let me know via PM.
That should work with an RJ45 insert. Panduit may have a version of the same.
Thanks for the answers. I will show this to the powers to be and let you know what happens. Again thanks.

if an electrical box you can use the screw holes if a standard wall mount dont need a plate just an RJ 45 jack. Phone will cover hole
If the phone runs on POE, would that require an RJ46 jack?
