Hi All, as the title suggests, we are after a outlet with 1 x BT jack and 1 x (or more) RJ 45 jack (or key stone mount). Are these even a thing...? appreciate any guidance on this.

As mentioned above, PDL 600 series.

I do have to ask why on earth you'd want to use BT jacks though these days? They're 10x the price of a RJ45 jack and totally unnecessary these days.

If you did however want to buy BT keystone jacks I could sell you some, have about 150 sitting here that have been ripped out because they're obsolete these days.

Defs do not get BT, unless you really have to. You can get RJ45 keystones from places such as J A Russels, PB Tech, and I think Cables Direct sell them. If you want to you can get them off Trademe for pretty cheap.

Stewarts/J A Russel/Radcliffe or Cory's Electrical would be the place to go.

A BT module is around $40 compared to about $8 for an RJ45 so not sure why anyone would bother. And please don't say 'so no one plugs the phone in to the wrong place' because that isn't a good reason.

Any reason why you can't go with 2x RJ45 in the outlet and use a RJ45 to BT cable/adapter?
