A telephone plug is a type of male connector used to connect a telephone to the telephone wiring in a home or business, and in turn to a local telephone network. It is inserted into its female counterpart, a telephone "jack", commonly fixed to a wall or baseboard. The standard for telephone plugs varies from country to country, though the RJ11 "modular connector" has become by far the most common. A connection standard, such as "RJ11", specifies not only the physical connector, but how it is wired (the "pinout"). Modular connectors are specified for the Registered Jack series of connectors, as well as for Ethernet and other connectors, such as 4P4C (4 position, 4 contacts) modular connectors, the de facto standard on handset cables, often improperly referred to as "RJ connectors". HistoryBell system line cord as used in the mid 1960sHistorically the telephone was often owned by the supplier and permanently wired in to the telephone line they supplied but as phone markets became more deregulated there was a need for a simple plug-in interface that consumers could use. Many countries initially used their own connectors. For example Bell System companies in the 1960s used a round plug about 40mm in diameter with four prongs about 15mm apart. National connectors remain in service but few are used for new installations. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Resident Stevile - Mon May 24 21:04:25 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. You can just splice the wires. I'm assuming that you're trying to make a wiretap. First: it's illegal. (Class A misdemeanor or felony) Second: Just don't get caught. 3:) If you wire anything into a phone jack, the phone will perpetually be left off the hook, as voltage is being sapped from the lines. (Which is how Ma Bell senses when you pick up the phone) If you wire anything into the phone line, everyone who is on the phone will notice a 90% drop in volume. If you want to do a wiretap right, you have to plunk down $60 for a decent bit of wiretap hardware. :/ I hate to admit it, but after hours of piddling about trying to build a wiretap, I had to give up... Everything I made destroyed call quality.
