RJ11 and RJ45 are the names for the terminators at the ends of the cables.

RJ11 is the 2 pair (4 wire) terminator used for telephones.

RJ45 is the 4 pair (8 wire) terminator used for ethernet cable.

How do you connect a PC to a lan using telephone cables?

You can't using telephone cables. Telephone cables use 4 wires, but none of the wires are twisted, so there will be problems with crosstalk. Also, telephone cables use an incorrect connector (RJ-11) for a NIC card in a PC, which needs RJ-45 connectors.

What are the similarities between rj 45 and rj 15?

Differences between RJ-11 and RJ-45: • RJ-11 (connectors) have positions for 6 wires (3 pairs), used primarily used for voice transmission over typically 2 ranging up to 6 of the wires. • RJ-45 has 8 wires (4 twisted pairs), primarily used for data transmission over 4 to 8 wires. • Connectors are physically different sizes. That said, they have many similarities as well. Some you may not have thought of: • RJ-11 and RJ-45 both have pin spacing that is identical. This is by design. • RJ-11 and RJ-45 both have connectors of identical height. • RJ-11 and RJ-45 both use the same shape and size centralized plastic locking pin. Thus, the only sfdifference being RJ-45 allows for 2 extra pins and is a slight bit wider. So In a pinch, an RJ-11/14 6 wire cable can be used to connect two RJ-45 devices provided that that RJ-11 cable has all four or six wires and the RJ-45 socketed devices are only 10 or 100-base-T (sub gigabit) devices as they only use 4 wires. Gigabit devices require use of all 8 wires so it doesn't work for 1000-base-T devices. Also, if the RJ-11 cable is flat-wire (not twisted pair UTP) then the run will have to be very short due to noise considerations. This makes it harder to achieve full speed on 100 Megabit class connections.
