Ron, I just moved into a new home, and your video got me from a mess of wires in a structured wiring enclosure to phone service in every room. I looked all over for a coherent and complete explanation, and yours is the only one that I actually understood. Thanks so much.

Saved me a bundle! I had two line phones in the house and after I dropped one of them and bought a one line phone I didn't have a dial tone. With the help of this video I retired the wall phone jack and now everything is working properly. Many thanks!!
Hi Steve great to hear it saved you some time and money! Have a good week. Ron
Ron, thank you for the video, you really saved me a ton of time. Guys like you, generously giving of their time and effort, are what make RUclips great. Thank you again for making it really easy to understand.
Hey Raynaldo good to hear from you I appreciate it! Take care out there Ron
I've gone from a simple fix to a complete changeover. Got the tools and stuff but needed a refresher from when I wired new in the early '80s. Using mostly Ideal but some tools are Sperry (found on sale and budget limitations). Thank you so much!
This really helped, it turned out to be the phone set! The explanation of all the wires' purpose and colors enabled me to see that the loose wires were supposed to be loose, thanks very much.
Hey man glad to help Ron
Now that I have started installing commercial phone systems, this information has been extremely valuable. Thanks again Ron! JD
Excellent video and explanation. I made the mistake of doing an internet search to help me with re-installing my phone jacks. After hours of searching, no luck. A few minutes on RUclips, and my issue is solved.
Jazz glad to help you out! Thanks for watching Ron
Thanks Ron.Thanks for taking the effort to produce a great video.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! Ron
Very helpful - Very clear. We were able to DIY our phone install and saved $120! Thanks so much.
Hey Bonnie really nice to hear from you and I am glad to help. Ron
Thanks, the comparison to old saved my butt. Fixed my issue Thanks again
Mel glad to be of help we will be dealing with old phone wires for many years yet to come. Take care Ron
Thank you for this info. I didn't know why my telephone cord had so many colors and none were red or green. I got my problem sorted out thanks to your info.😃
Cool glad to help Ron
This unit is an old Radio Shack in line telephone unit designed for the hearing impaired. It processes volume and tone of the incoming voices for better comprehension. The connecting telephone line cords I do have don't fit the manufactured ends provided on the module. Thay look the same, but are not wide enough to connect the ends on the cords I have in my home.
You're not the first to have problems with my explanations. Chalk it up to ADD and a few other synaptic brain anomalies. You should have seen the instructor FUME in my creative writing class.
Fred
Fred if you like send me a pic of the connections to my ron.kipper@idealindustries.com email and I might be able to help.Ron
My Apology - The connectors I should have noticed were for the coiled handset, which are smaller than the telephone supply cord.
Many thanks for you attention.
Problem solved.
Fred
You made my small project effortless! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Awesome.
Excellent! Glad you could use the info. Take care Ron
The old phone man who explained tip & ring to me said that positive and negative are irrelevant to phone lines because polarity is (well, was) used for alarm system signaling over leased pairs from the telco. If the tip side is positive and ring is negative the system shows normal, but if the polarity is reversed it goes into an alarm condition. No polarity at all generates a trouble signal (which could be a Bad Guy cutting the lines). I think you mention elsewhere that the CO sends AC over the same line to drive the customer's ringer.
I am not sure about the alarm but old phone are getting hard to find! Thanks Ron
Your The Man! I'm going in elbow deep into an install for my local township office and I needed this refresher!
Excellent Rob. Simple explanations. You know, I have always wondered why in the 8P8C connectors (and RJ-11), the blue pair has the ring on the left when Orange, green, and brown have their rings on the right.
DIY Telecom Hey thanks I am still looking for why the Tip and Ring are laid out that way.......Thanks for watchingRon
Don't go crazy with that Ron. It's trival, at best. My suspicion is it either has to do with cross-talk prevention or a hold-over from the Princess-phone days when they put power on the 2nd Pair.
Took me a while to find your video. I've been looking for over a year now. Thank you so much.
Gustave sorry it took so long hope you can use the info have fun Ron
@@RonKipperDatacomm1 so I watched another video: are these correct? Yours is a bit different. Do you have a photo that shows Telephone line to Cate-5 equivalent to?
Green/Red =Blue/White (cate-5)
White Blue=Green
Solid Blue=Red
Gustave to my knowledge mine are correct Ron
@@RonKipperDatacomm1 thank you Ron.
I did so much Cat 5, 5ABCDE & Cat 6 if I had a penny for every foot I'd be rich. You really need to do the split 50 cheat sheet. Class C is limited to 50 VDC nominal (they push it to over 50VDC a lot) .Nice primer. I had to double check my wiring on the old RG BY to new 4 line due to a phone problem. I know my house is fine. The computer is running off broadband coax, so we only need voice. The Fax uses Cat 5E 4 pair. All is good, even nasty old black insulation 40s clad wiring tested fine.
Succinct and informative! I'm wiring my new house for voice, VoIP and data and your vid went a long way in clarifying how I will integrate and distribute the same. I had just been looking for info on NID hookups but seem to have hit the jackpot. Subscribed. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience.
Thanks, very helpful, a full 9 years after you published the video.
Hello yes the color codes have not changed and probably won't in the future. I have thought about remaking some of those older videos. Have fun Ron
Outstanding, best video on this topic on RUclips, thanks.
pmrunner1 Thanks it is an old one I appreciate you watching.Ron
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question and will do.
Thanks!
thank you so much. the only video I saw that gave me the proper color code.
Brian glad to help you out. I need to think about re-shooting that video getting a little old. Ron
Calling in a phone repair is like calling "dial an excuse". (20 excuses in under 5 minutes). Kinda like Dominoes Pizza, only after 30 minutes the only thing free is more excuses! The last Quest tech that did internal wiring had one wire hooked up wrong so it inductively picked up signal off another wire. Ring that ancient black 2 pr wire out! No way am I paying for work like that! I know my internal wiring is good now! I will run new Cat 6 throughout this winter. I sure miss my old Ideal hammer!
Thank you. This is solid material and should be used instead of electrical school.
Hey Treston appreciate the comment. Have fun Ron
this is B wiring. everyone I know uses A wiring for RJ45. I know it doesn't matter as long as its wired the same on both ends. but when you go into a home, usually it is already wired for A.
Hey noble rcc The residential standards do call for A wiring but most commercial work seems to use B. I still wonder why we couldn't get down to just one...........Ron
yes I agree. It seems that instead of a lets say having a national uniformity, every company does things different, or should I say their own way. which causes the lines in homes, apartments, residential and commercial buildings to be cut spliced holes drilled for new wiring and really a waste of time and money, and materials.
Thanks for the class today ! Very helpful and hope to be able to someday have a data base Of knowledge that you obtain. Will utilize your helpful videos when troubleshooting situations. Thanks Again! Ed Rose Employee.
hey Ron,thank you very much for a very nice information, exactly that is the one i looking for
mokong manyak Hey great to hear from you! Glad you can use the info and take care out there.Ron
you look like a pro Ron. you really need a lavaliere mic. about 70-100$ on amazon. keep up the good work!
Rod that is a pretty old video and yes I have the wireless mic now. Makes a big difference! Ron
Ron really good information , and you are great instructor...Thanks a lot.
townman1 Hey glad to hear from you I appreciate it.Take CareRon
Thank you Ron!!solved my problem within seconds!!!
Vicky Randall Great glad to be of service!
Thanks for the videos! I'm trying to connect a cat5 cable to a phone line block. I've seen it done years ago and completely forgot- but I am needing to re-wire a bunch of lines using cat5 cables instead of the flimsy old phone lines. The line will be terminating to an in house switch. The other end of the cable would be punched down into the phone block.
+Chris Gallego Cool hoped the info helped you figure it out. I need to do a video on how to convert the colors from old phone wiring to the new Cat 5e colors. white/Blue to Green, Blue to Red, white/Orange to Black and Orange to Yellow. Thanks Ron
@@leewerno8428 Hey Lee what do you mean by "service" ? Are you talking about one specific cable on a punch block or what is on both ends?
Just found out about your channel through Edward Rose.
Those diagrams really help. Thanks
terrannewb0 Good glad you can use them.
Excellent presentation, clear, concise and informative. Well done, this was very helpful.
+MembrainJ thanks for the comment I appreciate it. Ron
Thanks for the video Ron,should imagine the rules are pretty much the same here in Australia,When i bought the house it had a back to base alarm installed,it is disconnected now but still sends a call out each evening.So here i go and remove
the fridge get to the wiring and rewire it Again Thanks
Terry Odonnell Terry good to hear from you! Happy to be of help thanks for watching.Ron
Thank you very much for posting the schematics. You've solved my problem.
God to hear use the info well Ron
At time: 4:14 "USOC they're not trying to insult you."
Thanks for the humor, Ron. { I didn't get it the first time I went through the video!}
Rocket Rider Good to hear from you! I made one mistake in the U means universal not uniform.Thanks for watchingRon
Thanks Ron,you saved my ass with that explanation.
Hi Norman good to hear from you! Ron
If you listen carefully, what sounds like 'cattery' is a reference to 'en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable'.
you2tooyou2too Sorry man that is a little bit of my midwestern accent showing...........
I bought a cable modem router without a phone connection so how can i get my phone hooked up to wall jack. I got comcast and guess they did something to phone jack cause phone won't work when i plug into wall.
Kat without looking at the wiring I really have no where to start to help you. Comcast should of connected your phones have you talked to them? Ron
Fantastic explanation, very useful!!!
Congratulations!!
Rolando Lizarraga Great thanks for watching
We disconnected our phone jack and have a 4 wire line Blue and Blue-White, Orange and Orange-White; that connects to an 8 wire line Blue and Blue-White, Orange and Orange-White, Green and Green-White, Brown and Brown-White. There was also splices inserted connecting some of the wires, the red 3-wire splice to be exact. I wanted to know how to connect the 4 wire colors to a phone jack to the 8 wire and where the splice connectors should go. Since jack also acts as a junction to connect the two different type of wires together. Maybe they spliced the 4 wire to the 8 wire then connected the splice to of the three to add a phone jack?
Ryan not sure if I can help you with what you have described. If you are trying to connect a phone that Jack the green wire should connected to the white blue, red wire to the blue with a white stripe, black to the white orange, and yellow to the orange with the white stripe. Hope that helps Ron
So what's the current thinking on 568A vs B? I wired my house with B simply because that was the practice at work, but I think 568A might actually have an advantage in mixed voice/data systems. 568A puts pairs 1 & 2 (blue, orange) in the positions needed for a 2-line analog phone with an RJ-11 plug, while with 568B you have to remember to put your second analog line on pair 3 (the green pair).
Awesome video!!! Thanks.
Thanks Mel!
Thank you for the all background information! Really great video! :)
Hey you are welcome hope you can use the info Ron
I have an old Radio Shack volume/ tone in line box operating on a on a 9V battery. The female input is too small to fit my home wired male into. The female out from this box mates to the male input on this module. These LOOK like the standard plugs. What on Earth are these??
Fred you will have to explain that question a little better. Not sure what you want to know. Ron
Great video. I found it while searching for something else, but I definitely can use the info.
Paul Melgoza Paul thanks for watching the channel I appreciate it.Ron
I ran into a system recently - The phone company, in the outside box, had ran Orange and White as line one. The customer asked to have a second line connected, the phone company said that the job was complete. Upon arrival I found that they had connected Blue and White as well as Green and White BUT the lines where not live, with service from the phone company, SO.....I just wired Blue and White assuming it would be the second line. Is this just an error with the technician that did the initial wiring? If it turns out that is not the correct second line, Blue and White, of course its not hard to change it on the 66 block, first time I have ran into this issue from the phone company. But you do far more telephony than I do and wanted your opinion.
This video really workt your the man Ron!!!
Severed the phone line, lets hope this works
Siam good luck in getting that fixed hope the info helps. Ron
Thanks
Ron, amazing video.. Thank you.
+SimpleFly Tech I don't know how amazing it is...........but glad to hear you think so.take care out there.Ron
I joined a new cat 6 cable to a existing telephone jack to a new office but I can't seem to have both telephone working at the same time only one phone works in order to have to the phone working in the office I have to disconnect the phone in the other office. Is there a way I can fix that
Thanks! So awesome and great that you share your knowledge!!!
Very informative and straightforward. I have a 634AT ringer box, but no longer have a land line. Can it converted for a different use? Doorbell, motion detector?....thank you in advance...Carlos G.
Hey Carlos I am sure you can rewire it for a doorbell. Good idea I hate to see that old equipment going to the trash. Have fun Ron
Good video. Thanks!
Joanna I appreciate you being out there. Ron
thankfully
So in DSL the voice is the blue and DSL is orange or blue or red? I'm trying to set up voip for home wiring without paying a tech to come out. Thanks for any help.
Kyle Lester Kyle I found this maybe it will help you. Without seeing what is in front of you I don't want to make a guess. Good Luck man.@watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=_qUIqz60MiE

+Ron Kipper Datacomm Hi Ron thanks, the tech did upgrade our nid to only have the 1 blue/white pair like on the video you recommended. I currently have att home phone line and dsl. All I'm wanting to do is remove the voice line and keep dsl (dry loop?), do you know what configuration would get that done? Thanks
Thanks Ron. I would like to add a phone jack to another bedroom in my house, can I split the Cat 5e cable in the attic into two lines somehow? The communication hub is located in my basement and I can't do a straight run to my attic.
sross002 You should be able to. A phone only needs one pair and there are 4 pairs in the cable so you should be able to use one of them for the new phone. Just make sure to connect it all down in the basement.Good LuckRon
Hey, Ron. I'm currently stuck with a bit of an issue. A DSL tech dropped off some equipment for me to install. The jack I have does not have a red wire. Only the green wire. The tech told me to loop only the blue/white wires, but every diagram I see seems to reference a red wire. Thanks - Jay.
xD3G3NERATE Man I am not sure................Generally the white blue is connected to green and Blue to red and it is negative in polarity.Sorry I could not be more helpful.Ron
***** Would you have any idea of where I could find the proper diagram? All the wires that are inside the jack itself are Orange, Green, and Blue.
xD3G3NERATE Did you look at my video on wire configuration for Data? maybe that will help.
my townhome was built in the 60s and my wirea are a whole different set of colors what could i do?
Israel I am not sure the color code I discuss in the video goes back a long way. What colors are the wires? Ron
Thank you! You helped me a lot!
Thanks for the comment! Glad to help Ron
Hi,
Sometimes I have a dial tone and the sometimes I don't. When I do have a dial tone, I can make make out going calls from my land line. However, when I call my land line the phone rings only one time and then it sounds like someone has answered it.
I had a technician come out tell me that my problem is inside.
Can you please give me an idea of what the problem could possibly be. Thank you.
Mary Bradley Mary if the tech checked your line and it is working properly. The problem could be the phone you are using or the wiring. Try another phone and see if that helps if not look at the connections in the wiring. You may have a reversal in the pir you are using for that line. Good luckRon
+Mary Bradley This is a very typical problem, but potentially hard to find. Generally all of the phone jacks are parallel together and the MOST LIKELY cause is insects or spiders that have made a nest in a jack. Dampness will make this type of problem worse. With the CO disconnected at the NID and no dial tone, you need to take a resistance reading looking into the house. Since the wires are in parallel, you can do it from anywhere. >1 Meg ohm or so should be safe. Low values, are not good.
Now, the hard part. What leg is causing the issue. You start disconnecting in a way that helps you find the source. If you have 10 lines and quad cable, you can pull 5 off and check. If the problem is solved it;s in the 5 you took off. So, put 3 back on and test again. So, very quickly, you can narrow down the leg. Everything may not be home run either.
Disconnect the device at the jack(s). In a LOT of cases, inspect the wiring at the back of the jacks, especially the older ones. A spider may have made a nest.
This, same sort of issue can occur at the pole or both or any place along the way.
Re-doing the wiring so this is trouble-shootable next time easily could be in the cards or you may have found the same place it will occur again.
"Drip loops" are important inside and out. Water follows cables and drops off at the lowest point. So, if water finds a loop, the water drips off the lowest point of the loop and can't climb uphill into the jack.
With the test jack unplugged, there may be a 1/2 ringer load still presented to the phone company. So, when you think you have your house disconnected, the phone company sees 1/2 of a phone. It needs that do do testing.
If you have home runs and can disconnect both ends and you know it's length, a Time Domain Reflectometer can help you find the shorts and opens.
===
Loud buzzing or hum is a different sort of issue.
+KISS Mary did you find the problem? I would agree it may be a simple wiring error or bad connection.Ron
I have CAT5 and i need use this for telephone 4 pins (black, red, green and yellow). I use for this blue and orange pair ?
Pan you could use any two pairs as long as you wire it correctly on either end. Hope that helps Ron
Answered my question. Thanks.
Excuse me sir. In Android phones the headphone speaker or audio out and then microphone audio in all hooked in a 4 pole 3.5 m outlet I want to convert it to an adapter to hook it through the land lines in my house. Can that be done?
Michael yes I believe you can through a blue tooth connection. Just buy a land line phone system that lets you connect to a cell phone. Take a look at this video ruclips.net/video/fBSu7jd9BDI/видео.html
Where do red blue green output Jacks for TV Go
James the old RCA connections will still work if you have equipment with them still. However most new TV's and equipment don't have them anymore since you cannot use them for Hi Def signals they want you to use the HDMI connections. Take care Ron
Great video Ron (as always), one things always puzzled me, why is line 1 R&T reversed, compared to lines 2-4 being TTT and RRR, that kinda seems strange
Ressy66 Man I have been looking for that answer for almost 25 years............I don't know. I think whoever made that decision is long dead but I have asked many a tech and have not heard a good answer. Thanks for watching.Ron
Thank you for this Channel. I'm new to some of this and it's great information.
Larry S. Larry great to hear from you! I really appreciate you watching the channel and hope you can put the info to good use.Take CareRon
Ron I have a couple old wood box crank phones and a candlestick phone is there a way I could hook them up to use as an intercom system in my home and shop?
Murray Lowe Murray I am sure you could make that happen. Not quite sure how you work wire it though. I assume the phones still work you just need a power DC source. Good Luck Ron
***** yes they do work. Just wish I had a schematic on wiring them together.
Hello so I am in a house in Oklahoma that was built probably in the 50s. The wires coming in from D block? Through the wall are blue light blue, and then 3 pairs green light green, red yellow, and Brown tan. Am I assuming correct that the blue light blue are my wires that hook up to the red green on the new jack.
Dave I assume you are correct if someone was following the color code. However they could of used any of the pairs to make the connection so you should double check the wiring to be for sure. Have fun Ron
Ron Kipper Datacomm Thank you so much for the response and I watched your very detailed and easy to understand/follow directions and I'm saving myself a lot of money. Now all I am paying for is to have pro. Go over it for safety reasons. So again thank you......
Good to hear! Take care Ron
When wiring up a multiline VoIP phone say something you would find in an office a Cat5e cable would only enable four lines?
Brandon you can buy VoIP phone systems designed for many phone lines. If you are prewiring it one Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable to each outlet should do it but 2 cables is always better or future use and you are already pulling one so cost is not that much more. Take care. Ron
Ron thanks for the info. I am wiring up a small office for a job. It will be my first time doing it so I am trying to figure out everything before hand.
Good luck then with the project. Ron
Thanks Ron.
i opened the telephone box outside my home and saw a wire with a pink,black, green, and yellow wire that wasn't hooked up to anything. none of the jacks in my home are "live". how would i know where to hook to loose wires to to make the inside jacks live again? (hope what i asked makes sense)
+New Yorks Finest Hey nice to hear from you the colors red(not pink)/green should be line 1 and yellow/black line 2 if you have one. The phone company should have marked their incoming line then connect the wiring to it and that should make the jacks work. Good luck and be safe out there it is all considered low voltage but you never know. Ron
the wires coming out of my wall is: white wire with red stripes, and blue wire, and orange wire, what does that mean? please help
Joe T sne me a picture maybe I can figure it out from your description no telling what it is.
Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com
Thanks, Excellent video
Hi really nice to hear from you. Thanks for the comment. Ron
Thank you! Great information!
If all that I have is Cat 6, can I use it instead of Cat 5e for phone?
+Al Davis Sure about any cable can be used for basic phone. Cat 6 is usually pretty expensive vs Cat 3 which is typically used but about any wire will do for basic analog phone. Thanks for watching Ron
Good Video Ron. One thing I don't understand. I have Cat 5 cable that has a Blue and a Blue/White striped wire (among others). Why do the phone cable diagrams not show this correctly? They (including your video) show BOTH blue pair wires as 'striped'. In your video you refer to the large white stripes as 'Blue/White' and you refer to the large blue striped wire as 'Blue'. Why don't the pictures just show a BLUE wire and a BLUE/WHITE striped wire like it comes in the cable?? Thanks very much for your response.
Hey Scott like many thinks in this industry that is how it is referred to. The mostly blue wire is referred to as blue and the other white blue. I am sure phone companies decided on that many years ago although most of this cable today is used for data applications. Sorry not much help Ron
hi pleased can you help me I buy old telephon but is missing the mind cable I go uno but i dont how to conect to de telephon thank you and the colr are red,blue,white and brownand
Shirley Andrade Shirley not sure about that the colors do not sound right. Were are you located?Ron
extremely informative!!!!
I'll be running the low voltage for a new house I am building. I am experienced running CAT5 for Ethernet, but I've recently been under the impression that I can simply run additional data jacks to wherever I may want phone access, and simply plug a rj12 cable into the oversize port and it will just run off the innermost 4 pins. I'd have the same pattern on both ends of the line and then have the ability to use the jack as both data (if I patch Ethernet to the other end) or phone.
Is this assumption correct, or should I look at doing something else?
ampy60 That is supposed the be the benefit of the cabling it can really be used for either phone or data depending on what you need the jack to be.take CareRon
Ron, I have the Keystone jacks for the wall plates. I'm using cat5e plenum grade for the phone. I want to have all four lines available for future use. How do I punch this down on the rack? We'll have around 48 runs, so do I just use a 48-port patch panel, punch down the ring and tip 4 incoming lines to port 1 or just plug the end into plug one, then daisy chain all the punch downs together, where each coloured punch down is daisy chained to its own colour? For example, the blue punch down for Port 1 is also connected to the blue punch down on ports 2 through 48? And just do that for all 8 wires? Or do they make a special rackmount patch panel for telephone that expects cat5e or cat6? Thanks!!!!!
Spork sounds like a little bit of a wiring job. I don't know what kind of a rack you are using but this could be done fairly easily with a few 66 blocks if all you are using the cable for is traditional phone lines. If you are using a VoIP system then use a standard style data rack and Cat 5e jacks on either end and use patch cable to tie it all together. Good luck Ron
Thanks Ron. We're just using a small 36 unit HPE Advanced series rack, 19" 600mm x 800mm I believe.
Right now, we're going to be using the cat5e for traditional phone lines, but the idea was to set it up in such a way when we make the switch to VOiP (we have to pay down some of these bills and save more), we could make the switch fairly easy like.
Spork just make sure you have plenty of extra cable back by the rack so you can rewire it for VoIP later. Have fun Ron
hi man... i have been fixing my phone wire and everytime i fix it it works good for some hours but after a few hours it dies... whhat is wrong...???
Guarumo Perro I am not sure what could be wrong. Try disconnecting the phone service from the wiring in the house. Then take a multimeter set to AC Volts and see if you can find any stray voltages from the conductors to ground. Some times an AC signal becomes present on the phone lines.Be careful if you find any voltage and take care.
Hi, i'm a spanish use so i'm not good speaking english, but I can read english easily.
So i'm here asking you, what should I do if i'm configuring a jack rj11 for a phone that have 4 pins... not like others phones that have 2 pins.
In the phones that need 2pins, I can use blue + whie/blue for it to work.
But what if i need the jack config for a 4pins phone?.. Do i need to use blue + white/blue and which other color of my CAT5?.
Thanks your for video. Is well designed but since I'm spanish i can only read english for the moment.
Orange and w/orange is typically used for the second line. Have fun Ron
Thanks!

ok
I should've watched this first before calling for service! damnit! Would've saved some money...Fudge!
I am still a little confused can some one tell the wire change I am dealing with The wall wire is Orange, Blue, White,& White with a blue strip. My Jack is Green, Yellow, Red, & Black. The house was built in 1957
Jim the jack is wired in the old color system line one is Red, Green and line two is Yellow, Black. The wire in the wall is the new colors and line 1 is the Blue pair and line two is the orange pair. Hook white blue to the red and blue to green hope that helps Ron
Very helpful background information. I have a couple of questions on wiring an older style 1965 era phone wall jack. Can’t plug in the jack due to gummed up wires inside the wall jack. When I took off the face plate to replace it I found the jack has metal prongs running up and down on both sides of the jack and the wires coming in are wrapped between the prongs like a noodle around the tines of a fork. Question 1. Can this type of wall jack be replaced with the newer style where the wires are pushed into slots on the backside of the jack? 2. Can the phone wires coming in from the wall be cut to insert them or will that cause the connection in other rooms to be disrupted. I assume it doesn’t matter that the phone cable colors are blue with yellow stripes/ yellow with blue stripes and red with blue stripes/blue with red stripes as long as the wire pairs match the diagram on that came with the wall jack replacement? I haven’t been able to find anything like this wall jack model or any ideas for rewiring, but you seem to have a lot of knowledge in this area. Thanks in advance!
That is an old style jack yes you can replace it with a new style jack using the same wires I am not sure if any other jacks are wired downstream but just make sure you connect it all back together matching all the colors . Hope that helped Ron
I switched to Xfinity with a direct connection to modem. I can’t figure out how to connect from modem to the punchdown.
Scott not sure what you need to know but you need to wire it in 568B have you looked at this video?

How do I turn the power off on an existing phone line, to abandon it and replace with new cat6 wires? For instance I want to cut an existing working phone line and connect with new cat6 line to the terminals without getting electrocuted
Suzy Just disconnect the wires on the outside of the house and then do your work. Phone lines are typically considered low voltage the only time you will get shock is when the phone is ringing. Hope that helps Ron
Thank you

Ok. Do you have a photo of an old phone line punched down to a keystone receptacle? Unclear on what color goes where. The Levington I bought has two blue on it of the same color.
No I do not most of those receptacles were a screw connection not punchdown. Are you working on an existing system? Ron
@@RonKipperDatacomm1 Yes. I finally found information on the levington. It truly just match the colors. No conversion.
Thanks
