Hi Steve great to hear it saved you some time and money! Have a good week. Ron

Hey Raynaldo good to hear from you I appreciate it! Take care out there Ron

Hey man glad to help Ron

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.

Jazz glad to help you out! Thanks for watching Ron

I am not sure about the alarm but old phone are getting hard to find! Thanks Ron

Mel glad to be of help we will be dealing with old phone wires for many years yet to come. Take care Ron

Cool glad to help Ron

Hey Bonnie really nice to hear from you and I am glad to help. Ron

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

Thanks for taking the time to watch! Ron

Excellent! Glad you could use the info. Take care Ron

Terry Odonnell Terry good to hear from you! Happy to be of help thanks for watching.Ron

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.

+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?

mokong manyak Hey great to hear from you! Glad you can use the info and take care out there.Ron

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

pmrunner1 Thanks it is an old one I appreciate you watching.Ron

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

Brian glad to help you out. I need to think about re-shooting that video getting a little old. Ron

Rod that is a pretty old video and yes I have the wireless mic now. Makes a big difference! Ron

townman1 Hey glad to hear from you I appreciate it.Take CareRon

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

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.

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

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

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

Paul Melgoza Paul thanks for watching the channel I appreciate it.Ron

terrannewb0 Good glad you can use them.

Hey Treston appreciate the comment. Have fun Ron

Rocket Rider Good to hear from you! I made one mistake in the U means universal not uniform.Thanks for watchingRon

Pan you could use any two pairs as long as you wire it correctly on either end. Hope that helps Ron

Vicky Randall Great glad to be of service!

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.

God to hear use the info well Ron

Fred you will have to explain that question a little better. Not sure what you want to know. Ron

Rolando Lizarraga Great thanks for watching

Israel I am not sure the color code I discuss in the video goes back a long way. What colors are the wires? Ron

Thanks Mel!

+MembrainJ thanks for the comment I appreciate it. Ron

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.

Joanna I appreciate you being out there. Ron

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

+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

Siam good luck in getting that fixed hope the info helps. Ron

Thanks

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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nKiDqJqbyZ-mdH0.html

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

Hey you are welcome hope you can use the info Ron

Hi Norman good to hear from you! Ron

you2tooyou2too Sorry man that is a little bit of my midwestern accent showing...........

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

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.

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

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

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

+SimpleFly Tech I don't know how amazing it is...........but glad to hear you think so.take care out there.Ron

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

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

+Andy Rosaroso Andy did you get that to work? I would be curious. Why are you wanting to do this? Thanks for watching. Ron

+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

Shirley Andrade Shirley not sure about that the colors do not sound right. Were are you located?Ron

Thanks for the comment! Glad to help Ron

+New Yorks Finest Not sure I can help but send it to ron.kipper@idealindustries.com. Ron

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

Orange and w/orange is typically used for the second line. Have fun Ron

Thanks!

Ron Kipper Datacomm thanks (:

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

Don't think so but I do use a hands free headset/phone that also will answer my cell through Bluetooth. I might of got that at Officemax. Ron

But I have a wireless office phone that my line is completely dead like beyond repaired and I am not going to pay money to get it installed I thought maybe using my 3.5 mm jack into the rj 09 line in to see if that works so when someone calles me on my cell it will ring the office phone

I am sure there is a solution just not sure what it is good luck. Ron

Thanks cause i know office phones take two wries t1 nd r1 how can i use it like that

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.

Hi Christian I am afraid I cannot help you with that one outside my experiences. Ron

you mean voip?

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.

Angelo thanks for watching the channel. I am not sure how you would do that sorry I was not much help. Ron

Hi really nice to hear from you. Thanks for the comment. Ron

Hi Adam just use your standard 4 pin patchcord and plug it into the RJ-45 jack the 4 pins in the plug will contact the 4 middle pins in the jack. Just make sure your phone line is connected to the middle pins in the jack. Hope that helps Ron

tedalong1 good to hear from you and glad you can use the infoRon

does this apply for dsl?

I would double check with your provider. But generally yes I believe so. I have not looked at what the DSL guys are doing lately but by the time the consumer sees it is on a single pair

ok

I appreciate you watching! Ron

Mario there is no way to do that! Why would you need to do it anyway? Ron

Hey Mark are you installing a traditional old phone jack? I am not sure but if you will send me an image of the back of the new jack I might be able to help send it to my email Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com

@RonKipperDatacomm1 thank you ron i found another video that had the same set up with the same colors i needed. So got it working. Thank yoh very much for your help. Have a great week

Do you mean will a RJ-11 plug into a Cat 3 8 wire jack? The answer is yes. Take care Ron

yes I was thank u

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

Glad it was helpful! Ron
