Structured Wiring and Home Runs. Telephone RJ14 Wall Jack. A knowledgeable phone installer will always follow color coding standards. But be careful, because color coding standards may not have been followed by your original installer. RJ14 punchdown color coding -- Leviton QuickPort. The safest VoIP wiring alternative. VoIP jack in demarc box now feeds house. This is safer because the cord in the line module feeding the entire house can only be plugged into one jack at a time -- Either 1 your new jack VoIP feed or 2 the phone company jack -- but not both.
A note on Phone Line Polarity.
Red is wired to red, and green is wired to green correct polarity all the way from the phone company, to your house, through jacks, through cords, and to your phones. Red is somewhere wired to green, and green is wired to red which reverses the polarity. I have even seen homes where the phone company test jack in the demarc box has the incorrect polarity -- now that is a very sloppy phone company! Phone Line Polarity Tester. The other end of my cat 5 will have to have a RJ45 plug crimped onto it. Will my wire order be standard at that end because of this goofy jack?
I have an older home with a telephone connection where i dont want it, i want to remove it. How do you take the jack off? Hello all, I have 3 black wires coming out of the wall and 4 wires from the jack to connect to those 3 wires. The 3 wires from the wall are not color coded, they are black, and by trial and error, I have been unable to get a dial tone.

I love this site — thank you! Am I correct in assuming one set is for my dsl and the other for the landline? It looks as though they were all attached before but none of the wires are stripped. Thank you for your time. Hi we tried to install an new jack in a bedroom, it seemed to work but lost the phone in the living room, we have one other phone that does work in another bed room, it is now the only phone to work. Any idea why the one jack quit working?
Any help would be appriecated. I tried to switch the face plate with a working one. The wires are so short-one broke-now it is nearly impossible to hook them up. What do I do? Can I add wire? September 19th, at You should have gotten about of them for all the other jacks in the house. Never mind, I figured it out.
I extended the orange twisted pair, and attached them to the second set of studs ti the right, with the wire for the second line. This is an old house, and the studs for the phone connections are just bare, uncovered. I have a connection in my basement, that has two studs with nuts on left side, and two studs with nuts on the right side.
Thgre is a main cable coming in from the box outside, with a black and white wire. I can send a picture, if that would help. In the box outside, there is a blue pair and ornage pair connected. My lines have never come directly from the external panel. I have an old telephone wall mounted jack. There are 2 wires going into it, each separating into yellow, red, green and black. There are 8 screws available to attach these to—4 on each side of the jack. I have tried connecting the other green with the green still attached to the second screw on the right, but no dial tone.
What should I try? I recently moved into someone elses home, the bedroom that I use has no phone jack and I am wondering how to approach this problem. One phone jack is located in the bedroom next to mine. The phone jack is on the wall in the other room and that wall is the same wall that I have too.
So I use a pin light; shine it from the wall jack, it would go maybe 1 foot through the wall to my wall which looks like its the same wall as his wall is and I could take a drill and drill right through my wall and it would open up and I could unattach his wall jack and attach it to a new wall jack in my room.
I am asking you if this is what I would need to do? I did look in my closet but asside from this big insulated 12 inch diam. While you could figure it out by trial and error until you find the combination that works, a better idea is to open up the interface box, find the line that goes to your jack, note the color of the wires that are connected to it, and match those same colors on the jack. I was removing wallpaper in the kitchen and had to unscrew the plate cover that has the phone jack in it and the thing you screw the satelling cord to.
When I was scraping the wallpaper, I must have touched the wires with my arm somehow and got a slight shock. Since then, none of our phones will work in the house. I went outside and checked to see if we had service coming into our house and we do. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Hi, 1 What does it cost ballpark figure to run a new cable from the NID through the house for 3 jacks? I recently signed up for verizon dsl and I need to install a Seperate phone jack so I could use it because its on an seperate account with the phone line. I have a question, I just recently signed up for verizon dsl services and they told me that in order for my dsl services to work I would need to install a new jack in my room or re wire the one I already have so that the number I have already will not work on it.
I would like to know how would I go about doing that? I sure hope somebody can help me with this. I just ran a new phone jack into the living room for DSL to our computer. There are now 3 jacks in the house bedroom, kitchen, and living room. The kitchen and living room are next to each other, but the jacks do not share a common wall.

The bedroom phone jack always works. I cannot have anything plugged into the kitchen and living room jacks at the same time because neither will work.

Only 1 can be plugged in at a time between those 2 rooms. To further complicate the matter, the phone jack in the living room will randomly dump the DSL signal and will not pick it back up until I pull the jack out and let it hang from the wall. I have replaced the living room phone jack once, and it worked for a week, but now it quits again. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My jacks are the usual red, green, yellow, black, etc. My cable appears to have a solid color next to the same color with white hashes. So, which one goes to red or green?
The solid, or the one with the white hash? I have a newer home, about five years old or so I think it has the six wire interface box since I have three separate phone lines. I just bought a Polycom phone which is an analog speaker phone only for my office. I also tried a 6-line splitter to the wall but nothing.

My Vtech has an ext. Thanks for this great service. You might take the cover of the jack and be sure the wires are hooked up to it, then check the interface box outside to be sure the same color wires are hooked up there as well. If all appears wired properly, my next step would be to try hooking up a new jack to the existing wires. If still no go, try swapping off the existing wires at both the box and jack.
Last resort would be to run a new cable from the box. Hi great site you have here!
