Ron picks up where he left off in Part 1 of Telephone basics. If you don't understand telephone wiring these two videos will help explain a lot.

You're a natural teacher. Thanks for the gift of your expertise, shared in a manner that is so easy to comprehend.

In the last few days my landline had picked up a noise that made it near impossible to talk within anyone. I checked the outside jack and there was essentially no noise, so the problem was not with the phone company. I've been Goggling to find ideas on how to debug residential wiring (house was built in 1989) and yours showed the most promise. Long story short, lacking any better ideas and a bit frustrated in my search , I just loosened and then tightened the screws holding the wires in the NID. The signal cleaned right up! Thanks for the great videos, I've learned a lot, and luckily I found a simple solution without calling the phone company.

Bruce great to hear from you and thanks for dropping me a comment. Take care out there. Ron

Phillip the RJ-11 means 6P4C and has 6 slots and 4 conductors where the RJ-12 has 6P6C and 6 slots and 6 pins. The RJ-11 is most common and the RJ-12 with the extra pins is used by keyed telephone systems and PBX's. The size of the plugs does not change just the number of pins. So the 4 conductor plug will fit in a 6 conductor jack. There should be plenty of online info if you want to look them up. With cell phones becoming so popular we may see these connections slowly go away someday. Thanks for watching and good luck to you.

I'm fortunate to find your videos; loved the blast from the past. I worked for ma bell 30 years ago..too long to remember details but you certainly brought back memories. Thanks for that. I'm inspired to try again to bring the old two line rotary wall phone back to life. Why can't I find old schematics on the net....sure would help if the phone co. would share those. :-/

[@RonKipperDatacomm1]

butchandreggie Hey great to hear from you. I would think those schematics are somewhere out there if you look hard enough. I don't have them.Amazing how well those older phone systems worked and the equipment was really made to last.Take CareRon

[@itsthewhitetime8699]

Thanks Ron, I looked everywhere for why the wires on almost every phone cable connector were reversed. Appreciate the wisdom. Check out our channel when you get a chance. Thanks

[@RonKipperDatacomm1]

It's The White Time Thanks for watching. Looks like you have a nice family!Take CareRon

[@thegreatferroh]

Thank you, Ron. I've been scouring the net for the reason behind the roll-over wiring for telephone cables in contrast to just plain straight-through. It is simply just for backward compatibility after all.

[@RonKipperDatacomm1]

Cool glad to help have fun Ron

Soooo helpful! Thank you.

[@kohalabroker]

Thank you for these videos!

[@RonKipperDatacomm1]

Thanks Ron

[@seshachary5580]

VERY EDUCATIVE. THANK YOU.

[@RonKipperDatacomm1]

Very old video too. Need to redo them! Ron

[@bodywise007]

Simple important question. How does a 4 connector RJ standard plug match up with a 6 connector Keystone jack? And what phones use 3 lines? Most are 2 lines or 4 lines. What is the difference between R11 and RJ12?

[@mellindbuchler3563]

Hi Ron, I need to run new wiring from my NID to my internal jacks, do you have a video on this. Thank you in advance.

[@RonKipperDatacomm1]

No not really although it is pretty easy. The outlets could be all daisy chained together if it is the same line to all the outlets. Or you could home run a wire to each outlet then somewhere tie them all together and connect them to a line that goes out to the NID. Here is a link to one of my smart homes series of videos that might help. Smart Home Part 5 Phone 2 Good Luck

[@RudyChardae1224]

hey Ron I would just like to know a simple answer. how do I re attach the outlet that the jack has to plug into. it only has 2 wires

[@RudyChardae1224]

SO WHITE IS GREEN AND BLUE IS RED. ALSO I LIVE IN AN APT SO I DO NOT KNW WHERE THE LITTLE PHONE BOX TING IS TO CUT THE POWER OFF. SHOULD I JUST TURN OFF THE BREAKER BOX ALL TOGETHER.

[@myng591]

My cat 3 has eight wires can I use cat5e jacks for them? These are for phone only. I have already run new home runs for my network. Unfortunately the advice I was given was to run 5e. Walls are up already so I will have to live with it.

[@RonKipperDatacomm1]

Moe you can use the cat 5e jacks on the cable in the wall. Especially if it is just for phone. Ron

[@myng591]

Have a question. During renovation the guy cut my phone lines and ground in the house. I now have cat3 on main floor and cat5e on the downstairs. Nothing is hooked up yet. Trying to incorporate the system into a network. Can this be done?

[@RonKipperDatacomm1]

Moe sorry if I did not respond sooner to you. Yes you can mix Cat 3 and Cat 5e cables together but the Cat 3 links will suffer some on the data speed due to the cabling. Better to replace those with Ct 5e if you can. Good luck. Ron

[@reptilesgamers00]

You should do a video on hooking up a POTS splitter for dsl.

[@RonKipperDatacomm1]

reptilesgamers00 thanks for the suggestion I have a lot of videos I'd like to do just need to find the time....Ron

[@reptilesgamers00]

I hear you. See what you can do. I'd greatly appreciate it.

[@maryc8070]

If you plug a two pair cable into a standard single line POTS phone and each pair is carrying a live line, will the phone ring and work whenever a call comes in on either line (and only call out on line one)? Otherwise, why would such a phone have a four wire jack to accept a two pair plug? Asking because I am going to run a landline and a magic jack line, but I'm short one two-line phone for my workshop and they are a fortune here overseas. I really only need to be able to answer calls in the workshop......😁

[@maryc8070]

Yeah, figured as much, but I decided I'd ask anyway! Thanks for responding Ron, and thanks again for your tremendous efforts in education. Love my Ideal compression crimper.... Tell them you deserve a raise😍

[@alanspicertelecom]

You are doing a great job on these. Most ... I say most of this stuff I know already ... but I subscribed anyway to remember to watch some more of your videos. I'm a legend as well ... but the money hasn't followed that yet :-) My mom ran a Cattery and we still have some cats around here. I never heard CAT5 cabling described as "cattery" before. Can you explain if that's a norm somewhere? Cattery Cable? I mean the folks running cattery are going to want to know if that's what to use. :-) 73 de KA4UDX.

Wish the camera was much closer it was to far away

[@RonKipperDatacomm1]

Hi Kim camera is about 7 feet away we will do better next time. Ron
