I need a phone splitter (RJ11) to split 1 signal into 4 or more outputs. That's no problem, those can be bought in any store. But I was wondering if I can use a RJ45 cat6 patch-panel?

It's unclear what you're asking. Can you use a patch panel to do what?– Evan AndersonApr 5, 2014 at 23:17

I don't want to use an ugly phone splitter like s.s-bol.com/imgbase0/imagebase/large/FC/2/8/9/9/… and was wondering if I could use a patch panel in any way...– jeroneApr 5, 2014 at 23:19

There's no real reason you can't. Just wire all the ports to each other, and you'll be fine. You don't want to swap connectors or anything, just wire everything in parallel.
This is exactly what a commercial phone splitter does internally.

So if I link all the keystones in the patch panel together I have actually a splitter?– jeroneApr 6, 2014 at 12:09
