Good Afternoon
Maybe a bit of an odd question but as I’ve alluded to in other posts I’m in the process of swapping out phones form our legacy PBX to voip handsets on a hosted could solution.
We have some phones that are wall mounted and I’ve found with some that getting a standard cat 5/6 cable into the back of the phone and getting it flush on the wall is not easy.
Would cutting an old phone cable and putting RJ45’s on it in a 10/100 pin out work?
Probably 30cm/12" or less just to get form a socket in the wall out to the handset?
Thanks

I wouldn’t recommend it. If cabling is a problem, you might want to consider WiFi phones, then you would just have a thin power cable with a wall wart.
The two I’m thinking of currently have analog phone lines patched out over cat6 structured cabling with a socket either set into the wall behind. Yealinks supplied bracket is horrible and leaves not much space and a pretty tight bend in the cable.
Might just hope I have some spare thinpatch cables kicking around
