How to install RJ11 phone jacks

If you are moving into a new house, or just remodelling an older one, you will most likely need to install an RJ11 jack, presuming that you wish to have an analogue phone in the room. This article will go over what the RJ11 jack is, as well as discuss how to install it in general. Note that for specifics, you will need to refer to the manufacturer's website.

What is it?

A "Registered Jack 11" is usually a wire that is used for phone communication. Similar to an outlet, it is installed normally fairly low on your wall. If you made use of the dial up Internet connection before DSL and cable were widely available, then you most likely have used one before as dial up taps into your phone line to give you Internet. A cable usually leads to the jack, carrying the information being sent to your home from another phone. This is processed through the phone, and the data is transferred to the headset. Likewise, when you talk on a phone, it is transferred through another wire contained in the cable to the recipient's RJ11 wall jack.

How to install

Crimping tool RJ11s are relatively simple to install as hardware goes. In order to complete the operation, however, you will need to buy a crimping tool. This will be used to make sure that the RJ11 can fit into your home phone cable. Note that there is no guarantee to online instructions, and that if you are not sure about anything, you should look at the manual with it. Do some hunting Most wires in a home are colour-coded. You will need to be able to match the wires contained within the phone cord and RJ45 to those circuits that are in your house. Most homes have pre-made outlet spots, and so you may need to do some hunting within the architect's blue print to find where your outlet spots are - that is, if you need to install an RJ11 connector or not.
