Cheap phone cord (related to cheap extension cords)

Speaking of cheap cord, a few years ago I needed about 40 feet of
modular phone cord, and I was at a hamfest where they had 100 foot
roll of cord for less that Radio Shack sells 50. Plus it was right
there in front of me, and I wouldn't have to look any further.

So I bought it and it worked fine for a few years. I used the whole
100 feet without cutting because I thought someday I might need a 100
foot piece.

Just junk it and run by a "Dollar Store" or a Family Dollar or such other
such store that sells cheap Chinese junk.

I still go to Rat Shack for solid conductor stuff for inside the walls but
for modular "patches" (including splitters, butt connectors, etc) you basic
$dollar store outlet will fix your up.

Those cords aren't worth the cost of the modular connector end to fix.
