OK, so I hung the telephone up in the shop. I have several low-voltage wires buried from the house. I need to hook some of them up for telephone. I seem to recall that you only need two wires to run

You only need two. The inside two. Usually red and green - outside pair are yellow and black. Hook the inner 2 wires up. Does phone work? If yes, great. If not, swap the wires. It will work then. At

The red and green (2 center wires) are the ones you need. It is not even important which way there are wired (although there is a "Right" way) The black and yellow are used for multi-line connections

Although, if you do happen to get the wires "backwards", you will hear a dial tone but won't be able to dial out. 50 / 50 chance, it is. Kendall J --Original Message-- From: Eric J Petrevich/LRM <inc

I disagree with "it doesn't matter" . One of the wires is called the 'tip' wire and the other is the 'ring' if 'cross wired' (wired backwards) you will get an dial tone, but won't be able to break i

99% of the phones in use today have internal rectifiers so they work fine with reversed polarity. Which is good, since probably 25% of the phone jacks are wired wrong, and there's also a fairly high

for home systems (usually analog) and analog business systems, it is correct that you can be quite arbitrary about the red & green wires. for digital systems, you generally need to be "correct". rich

Phone wires always come in pairs. The only two you need are the green/red pair. The other pair in 'normal' houshold phone wiring is yellow/black. Yellow/black has been used for a number of things ove

For those that can remember, in the even earlier days, some rotary dial phones would make "ringing sounds" as you dialed a number. This could usually be cured by swapping the tip/ring... Tim Mullen
