Phone cords are wires used for connecting the base unit of a hone to the handset or headset, and to the wall jack. They can also be used for connecting several phones together and for connecting phones to computer modems. Long phone cords can be used as extension lines when placing phones far away from the wall jack.
In the United States, phone cords are “modular connectors” that can be plugged into a phone without opening the case. They have rugged designs and different sizes. The most common phone cords used in the US are the RJ-11, RJ-12, and RJ-14.
Tap: If you intend to add a second line, choose a three-tap telephone cord that is one-line or two-line capable. One end of the cord plugs into a modular phone jack, while the other end has an RJ-14 outlet. The remaining two ends have RJ-11 outlets.
Inline coupler capable: Choose a phone cord that can be connected with an inline coupler that allows two phone cords to be connected for added length.
