RJ11 plug strip (Telecom)
AES
that what I want is an RJ11 plug strip (or 5 of them) -- in other
words, something that looks and functions exactly like a 110 V plug
strip, except that the cord on one end has an RJ11 connector on it
instead of 110 V plug on it, and the 4 or 6 or 8 110 V receptacles
along its length are replaced by 4 or 6 or 8 RJ11 female jacks, all
wired in parallel.
Except, looks like *nobody* seems to make such an object, or any
low-cost fully pre-assembled functional equivalent to it. Odd . . .

Something like this?

Not quite what you describe, but close: Radio Shack used to offer
a little 9-inch pigtail device with one RJ11 male (plug) at one end and
a 5-fer at the other -- plastic box housing five RJ11 (female) sockets.
I have one, 's how I know. And, just maybe, perhaps they still do?
Overpriced, of course, but if it's in stock you don't pay shipping :-) .
HTH. Cheers, -- tlvp

putting it in this thread because it is the most current.
You mentioned that the "weird junction boxes" it the utility closet
are the termination of lead-sheathed underground cables. These boxes
are almost certainly the protectors!! Please do not remove these, as
doing so can create a very dangerous condition. The NEC requires
them, and the grounds of the protectors MUST be bonded to the ground
point of your electrical power service entrance. Furthermore, these
protectors are the property (and responsibility) of your service
provider.
Could you post a link to a photo of the demarc in question? That
would help clear this up and eliminate conjecture on my part....

Thanks much! You had the magic incantation. (And a six to one price
variation across these sources.)

Well 'low-cost' *is* asking a lot, for something that is, at best, a
'niche' market. <wry grin>
Beasties similar to what you're now asking about, but with only 2 or 3
outlets _are_ readily available, 'for cheap'. They're calle 'line
splitters'.

I can't speak for the OP, Reed, but the item in your link,
RS Catalog # 279-012, is exactly what *I* had in mind.
Glad to know RS still carries it :-) .

Radio Shack still carries it, but at twice the price of the other
sources that were listed.
