The RJ11 is narrower, but as the locking tab on the plug is in the centre, it will locate over the correct pins in a rj45, with a little gap either side.
If you are buying a filtered faceplate, then it might be worth getting one with the extra unfiltered 'A' & 'B' connectors, in case you ever want to run a hardwired adsl extension.

Re: Will an I-Plate make any difference?
Just thinking about ordering the ADSLNation faceplate today but was wondering what tools we'll need for connecting up extensions.
It would be nice to wire the current extensions straight into the socket rather than just plug in like they are now. However, I read on the guide on this site about two tools: A IDC insertion tool and a IDC punchdown tool. Are both of these tools needed to add two extensions to the filtered faceplate?

IDC connections require solid, not threaded wire, so make sure the wire you intend to use is suitable.Last edited by Isitme; 30-05-11 at 07:51 PM.

Re: Will an I-Plate make any difference?
Thanks for your reply, I think I'll order that one from eBay.
Just been looking at the Faceplates again and had a quick search on Amazon before registering with ADSLNation.
I found that Amazon are selling the Austin Taylor faceplate for £12.49.
Which is the better faceplate to buy? The ADSLNation one or the Austin Taylor one?

I can't comment on the AT but I have been using an ADSLNation plate for about 7-8 years with no problems.
