Telephone in to cat 5

Cat 5 cable 8 wire is used as standard cable in homes.
The port in your outside is for telephone, which uses 4 wire of the eight wires blue cable, and works with all phone ports in the trailer. However there is a cat 5 port, blu cable which I checked by the tv as discussed, has an 8 wired port, Ethernet, gigabyte port.
On the Internet forums talk about a hub connection when you go from 4 to 8 wire connectivity. Is there one in DRV?
I just have to understand how to use the cat 5 connection. I cannot understand how a 4 wire would interface with a 8 wire connection.
It does say Cat 5 on the outside connection but the connector is 4 wire or telephone, plug in.
A cat 5 inlet beside a cable coax is in the electronics cabinet, sounds right since a high speed modem requires this input.
Last thought you can buy a 4 wire phone jack adapter, and convert the cat 5 if you needed a phone line for your modem ie satellite.
