BT phone over CAT5 network

I'm going round in circles at the moment.
I'm wiring up a home network, I have a normal BT master socket. I have a patch panel wired with cat5e cable to distibute my network around the house.
I know I need an adaptor to connect a BT male plug with an RJ-45 Female socket so I can then move the live phone line around the patch panel as needed. But I cannot work out whether the adaptor needs to be a Full Master Socket with line protection, PABX Master Socket w/o line protection or PABX Slave Socket only. And then at the other end I need an unadaptor to go back from RJ45 to BT. It is sending me slowly mad.
