None of that is rj11 all those cables are twisted pair, nothing to do with phone lines. Those blocks are used to terminate one cable to either a rj45 or another punch down. If there isnt another side to that panel then its punchdown to punchdown. 1->2, 3->4 etc.

Normally if its terminating from one line to another the first line is punched into the block directly, then the color coded c clip is placed over it and then another line is punched into the c clip.
