You're gonna want an RJ11 surface mount to terminate the CAT5
RJ11 is too small to terminate a CAT5 cable.

Pretty sure he meant you want an "RJ-45" surface mount to terminate the "CAT5e" cable. RJ-11 is for telephone wiring and only has 6 connector termination points. RJ-45 has the necessary 8 connector termination points needed for Ethernet. Also, CAT5 is obsolete. It only supports up to 100Mbps. You need to use CAT5e or CAT6 to support 1000Mbps (gigabit) networking.

I thought we were talking ADSL which is on the white/blue + blue twisted pair phone line. That pair would be hard-wired in the exterior phone box and the other end has 8 wires coming in but only two are in use.

RJ11 = 4 contacts
RJ12 = 6 contacts
RJ45 = 8 contacts

Ok, the box that is on the outside is typically called the Network Interface Device or Demarcation point. The Cat5 E is your Home Run, it goes into the half-ringer/smart-jack(dedicated adsl2+ jack, colored red)

If you look at your cat 5E cable on the plug end, typically the center 2 conductors/contacts have blue and blue white as your pair that is transmitting the dsl signal in this case (in PBX systems this would be for dialtone).

Your setup is for easy repair atleast replacing the homerun.
