How to Install a Telephone Jack?
Even in this world of wireless technology and cell phones, many of us still need access to wired telephones, especially when the electricity goes down. If the telephone lines in your home don't go where you need them, installing an extension jack (plug in) is a job you can handle.
Instructions:
- Gather the tools and materials you will need: Wire stripping pliers, Needle nose pliers, Screwdrivers, Telephone wire, Telephone jack, Installer drill bit, Cable staples
- Determine where you want to install the new telephone jack as well as where the nearest existing jack is located
- Measure the distance from the existing jack to where you want to install the new jack. Include the total distances along baseboards and around doors in your calculations. Go to your local home store to buy your your telephone jack and telephone wire (it's cheap so get a few feet extra)
- Run your telephone wire from the existing jack (be sure you leave few extra inches) to where you want to your new jack to go. If you need to go through an interior wall, drill a small hole in the drywall and pass the wire through.
- Skin 2 inches of the grey insulation from the telephone wire at the existing jack. Inside will be four wires: red, green, black and yellow. Skin about 1 inch of insulation from each wire
- Remove the cover of the existing jack; loosen the screws holding the wires to the terminals and, using your needle nose pliers, attach similar colored wires to each terminal (red to red, green to green, black to black and yellow to yellow)
- Repeat the wire skinning detailed above at the new jack location and attach your telephone wire to the terminals inside the jack that are marked red, green, yellow and black
- Fasten your new jack to the baseboard. Some jacks come with double-sided tape for installation, but it's often just as easy to use a small screw to attach the jack
- Secure the telephone wire you have run, either by tucking it under the baseboard or by stapling it with a staple gun and staples designed to fasten cables. (Be careful; you don't want any staples going through the telephone wire)
Tips & Warnings:
- You can get an "installer's" drill bit at your home store. This is a long bit (about 18 inches in length) that makes it easy to drill through an interior wall from one side. The bit also has a small hole near the tip that you can use to thread the telephone wire through the hole you have just drilled
- Telephone lines can carry a very small amount of electrical current, but it is not enough to give you a shock
- An alternative to running wires on the surface of your walls and floors is to "fish" wire through the walls
- When you are running your telephone wire, keep the telephone wire at least 6 inches away from any electrical wiring. This is for your own safety and to ensure the electrical current doesn't cause any interference on the telephone line
