The reason I ask is because the customer is having an issue with it and I've never experienced a problem before so I was kinda wondering if there was a reason not to set it up this way. Data seems to be much more prevalent now a days and even commercial installs are going with VOIP systems and phones are plugged into the network wiring. I would prefer to wire everything to a patch panel and either split off using a 1x12 phone module or network switch. Commercial side can be different because of phone systems but it's much easier to carry cat5e/6 RJ45's and plate out everything using these ports.
What is the customer having an issue with, pluging into the jack or paying for the jack?
We only use RJ45 jacks for phone and data. Like cgav mentioned we also use white for phone and blue for data. Makes finish very easy and easy for the client to desipher between which jacks are phone and which are data.
