Using pliers like those those to crimp scotch-locs is not reliable. Yours looks OK, but people often only crimp the side closest to the plier hinge completly. I tell techs to always check the crimp if they are not using the correct tool. You never strip and twist wires before inserting into a B-connector. Twisted wires will cut each other if you crimp the connector correctly. B-connectors are not reliable if the correct tool isn't used , that is why phone companies discontinued their use in splices. Telephone wires have been repaired in caple splices by spinning (twisting) the conductors together for over 100 years. You simply fold the tape over the conductor then press it down to seal the connection. You never wrap tape around a pair.

That help me understand why I have two cables to my wall jack! Actually, like in your video, I have the two types of cables. Pretty old cables that break so easily, due to age and becoming dry or so? Can I fit a double jack in order to have one for a modem and other for my phone? Aim is to use my internal phone wiring with an IP phone system. Thanks for advising.

Is it possible to go from a modular to a screw post? My friends internet is down originally modular set up but if I can do a screw post I'd rather go that route for sure

What is the red and black use for

It helped a little bit I'm working with an older style screw Mount and I figured okay that's what I'll do I'll serial Mount from the other one I put in a couple years ago and just extend a wire out. I think I have the commercial wires cuz I got them from a commercial place when they were taking them out of the building and I got a whole bunch of wires of pretty long lengths so I think I should be able to find one that will fit.

Can 110 blocks be reused, like 66-blocks can? I have some old 110 blocks that I wouldn't mind putting into service on my home system (1A2 key system) but they have the wafers and I can't figure out how to get them off. Is it even possible? Or, should I just dump all of them?

Running in series is better than Running them all back to the de mark. Running them all back to the de mark is called star wiring, those pairs that arent being used, act as airials, so cause noise issues. Twist the wires together too, which makes the pair rejects noise.

I agree: well-done instructions & video! Thank You!! I did all that. Inserted new AA batteries. Still no light! ?? More help, please

What a great video. Thank you Sir.

If you connect like 10 of these phones in an office, how can you know like other offices number , like extension 601, 602?

Is that drywall?? Or brick wall?

Me gustaria poder csmbiar la bombilla led de mi mini magilte 2AA pero el modelo de led ed distinto al del video. Entienfo wue es mejor, no es un dimple bulvo con positivo y negativo dino wue el led ys viene encapsulado.

You made my day after some years of darkness! 😂 It was hidden under the spring

The bulb holder moves light looses connection goes off what do I do

Hello yes im trying to install a phone jack on the apartment. Working on phone line like this do i need to shut the breaker off or anything? Lmk thank you in advance.

You can get led drop ins now. Much better

Pretty cool stuff, may have to pick one of those 66 blocks up haha currently working on a retro isp and recently got an Cisco IAD which gives me 24 pots lines. Right now im using some cheap patch panel and a jerryrigged rj21 cable lol... Also got functional voice T1 circuits in my lab ;)

Great video

Great video man!!!

I have U-Verse but I don't have a fancy box on the house or the ONT box either. My internet download speed is only 2mb I pay for 50mb! Don't have that fancy power supply box either. I wonder if AT&T needs to revisit my installation and upgrade it to work properly.

Great!

awesome.. thankyou...very informative

The power light isn’t coming on, on my router 😭

This video is used in the level 4 essentials in IT course with OpenPolytechnic New Zealand

dude wtf is this lmao this is the worst ftth fiber connection ive ever seen my att fiber was just an aerial fiber cable from the pole behind my house that goes to a node on the run for my neighborhood THAT GOES STRAIGHT THROUGH A HOLE IN THE WALL OF THE BUILDING INTO A FIBER BOX which the fiber box was really small the size of my hand then a thinner fiber cable with a different color would go straight to the nokia modem which had a build in fiber to ethernet converter and I just plugged in my cat8e cable to the 2.5 gigabit port on the modem straight to my pc (idgaf about wifi I just want 0 ping latency on upstream and downstream to my pc no router needed for me)

So here I am with fibre broadband and paying a fortune for it (around £350 per year) with a telephone line that doesn't work unless there is an electricity supply to the router box (VOIP telephone). Can anyone please explain why then I am being screwed by the supplier for the privelege of sending voice signals (telephone call) using the same line as the data line used for internet access? 🤨

You're a gentleman and a scholar

As an IT vet this is accurate information. I would speculate as a possibility that the router is the actual ISP demarcation point, in that the router does the ISP-centric configurations. This typically includes providing routing for either a single IP address or some sort of block of IP addresses, and likely included DNS services too, as that can reduce network costs to the ISP upstream from IX peering (DNS on their network means they don't pay extra for usage).

Nice setup! I was wondering, normally in these systems, there’s normally an auto attendant feature. How is the auto attendant computer software connected to the system?

Good stuff. That backboard looks pristine compared to the one at one of the buildings I work in. We are moving out of the building so I won't have to worry about fixing it soon. If I could fix it I would, but I wouldn't know where to start. Got way too many other fires to put out.

none of this helps anyone in an apartment, idk why they would even sell such shit wifi

I need this refresher. Thanks!

Good show! I needed this refresher course. It all comes back after nine years.

Any suggestions if it’s not the bulb that’s the issue? I tried changing it and it still will not turn on.

Thank you so much for these straightforward and clear videos! I just moved into a house that has been converted into two apartments and exactly as you described, the phone company refuses to guarantee service to the apartment. I could pay a tech more than my monthly bill to come out, but I"ve got the tools and would rather do it myself. ✌🏿

Im the uk we call the scotch locks jelliies (jelly crimp)

After scoring the jacket and using the ripcord, I recommend cutting away the cable under the score mark before cutting away the jacket. The jacket length helps you remember where the score was made. Then cut away the jacket and the ripcord.

Great explanation. Thanks!

DIY Telecom i think that Nokia phone box converter is very awesome.

Thanks. I'll check that out.

figures. copper infrastructure is going away and changing

I was thinking about coming from the D box outside and replacing the incoming wire. I had the phone guy out and he said I had static on the line but is was good outside at the box.

Great help. Do you have a video how to run a new inside wire from the phone box outside the house?

Its where I'm hiding whenever I hear gunshots in the building

...well no such thing as rechargeable 9v that i 've seen or looked for yet.... maybe i'll google for one

If it’s so cheap to make calls why are we still being ripped off by our ISP providers just like before by the phone companies , we don’t need a phone line anymore when we have a broadband connection, so why are we paying charges when it costs so little!

I see this happening all the time. LV always getting stepped on :(
