I dont care about that, just what they are being plugged into.

A patch panel for example is gunna be a lot longer, and
a wall plate and box rather bigger than it needs to be.

Yeah, thats what I do currently, must need more RJ11 sockets in that.

Thats physically quite a bit bigger than say 12 top entry pcb mount RJ11
sockets on a pcb or 4 triple adapters glued together side by side with the plug
end plastic broken off and the pins on the adjacent adapters soldered together with
say a blob of silicon sealant or epoxy over the soldered wires once thats done.

Yeah, its a bit physically big tho.
