    RJ11 cable order.

    Hi,

    I have a long piece of CAT5 running from my front door's phone socket to my router in the living room. The RJ11 connector on one end is loose and unreliable so I plan to replace it.

    If I'm unable to tell what order the cables need to be inserted into the new connector (left to right) by looking at the current connector, does anyone have a guide?

    For example:

    Left to right - Brown, Orange, Multi-coloured, Polka dot, etc...

    It would be really useful as I only have one RJ11 connector so cannot afford to get it wrong. Well I can, but it would be inconvenient :-p

    Thanks.

    laze.

    Ps. I'm going to have to look what cables have been used on the other end and wire up the new connector in reverse order, aren't I? :-|

    Hey,

    I found that page, very confusing, I've also found another page on Wikipedia that may be of use.

    I think once I get a chance to look at the current cabling my task should be a whole lot easier.

    laze.

    Re: RJ11 cable order.

    When you cur the old connector off, cut the cable an inch or two back, then remove the outer sheath, and hey presto, you can see which colour connector goes to which pin on the RJ11 and re-produce it on the new connector.
    Try to make each and every day the best it can be.
