I haven’t seen phones that use that kind of cable in ages. Everyone uses cell phones in Finland nowadays. But still need this cable to connect internet modem. Good vid helped me out. Thanks!
Flat telephone cord usually has a raised seam going down the middle on one side of the cord. The clips that are on the plugs should be on the same side as that seam. This is a good practice and important where polarity matters.
I've got at least one RJ9 plug that needs to be replaced. I've seen 4P4C crimpers listed as for RJ11, not RJ9. My RJ9 plugs look to be 4P4C best I can tell. What gives?
Tip and ring is the phrase you are looking for with the old polarity sensitive phones. TIP =the first wire in the pair , RING = second wire . If you cable the phone and it does not work flip the pairs. Hope this helps!
Thank you, Jim Gibson for your informative videos! You're awesome.
Glad you like them!

Great video, what are the two notches for on the scissors? Thanks
the notches are used for stripping cable. Was helpful in the day, not used much anymore. Thanks for watching! Please subscribe!

Good point
@@CableSupply Thanks!
Thank you - I used your directions to fix my weather station - good as new!
Can the crimp be made with a pliers or small channel lock? I'm cheap and only need a couple of connections. I'm NOT A PRO.
Electrician's scissors aka snips - my #1 tool!
was the telephone wire you use stranded or solid?
sorry for a noob question just asking..
ty in advance
It is usually supposed to be stranded softwire. Solid wire can cause connection problems with telephone plugs.
Hi Cable Guy, I've got one of these cable on my motorcycle and don't have a clue why. Bought bike yesterday.
No idea

what do you mean you havent seen a modem in years? You need a modem for internet!
Kyle Fraser if you use VOIP there isn't a modem.
thanks a lot.. now I know what to do
I definitely don't do it this way 5:53, I do it this way 6:14
No color coding arrangement of the wires inside the cable?
Well, I'm a bit disappointed, since I was specifically interested in polarity, which is important for old TouchTone (tm) phones.

Too much unnecessary information. Cut to the chase.
I mean.. my entire country is still using RJ11s for both telephone lines and internet (ADSL). 3rd world countries will do that to ya.

To much talk
