Hello,
I'm confused about how to wire my telephone line, I read a lot about this subject but information from some sources doesn't match with information from other sources, so I wonder which is right. Please advice. Thank you in advance.
Okay, starting from the NID/Demarc there comes two wires:
Red=Ring= -ve
Green=Tip= +ve
The confusion is about how to wire the telephone jack at house, some sources claims the following:
If you're looking at a telephone female jack, the pin assignment is as following
-----------------------
|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|
|...1...2...3...4...5...6...|
|...T...T...R...T...R..R...|
|...+...+...-...+...-...-...|
|____..................____|
........|................|
........|__..........__|
...........|.........|
...........|______|
Pin 1/6 = Line 3
Pin 2/5 = Line 2
Pin 3/4 = Line 1
Only pins 3 and 4 will be used since we have a single line only. So from this I gather that I should wire the Ring from NID to pin 3 and the Tip from NID to pin 4!
All phone jacks I purchased confirm this, but my xDSL splitter and all xDSL filters are in contradiction with the above information and states the following:
-----------------------
|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|
|...1...2...3...4...5...6...|
|...R...R...T...R...T...T...|
|...-...-...+...-...+...+...|
|____..................____|

Pin 1/6 = Line 3
Pin 2/5 = Line 2
Pin 3/4 = Line 1
So according to the above diagram pin 3 becomes Tip and pin 4 is the Ring!
Another issue is the male telephone plug, I think the colors should match with the female jack? But if I plug the xDSL filter the green connects to red and the red connects to green!
Which is right and which is wrong? Why the contradiction? Is this about using a straight cable from jack to phone versus using a rollover cable thus the crossed-over pins or what?
Please help, thank you.
