Following an accident yesterday in the computer room, inwhich I tripped
over the telephone lead to my newly installed (had machine for ages)
Fax machine and ripping the wires the plug that goes into the back of
the machine, can anyone tell me what the ref number of these small
plugs are please so that I can make a new lead up. It is a 6 pin plug.
I am not talking about the 631a plug that fits the BT socket, I am
talking about the one that fits the other end. A supplier address etc
would be most welcomed as well please.

I think you'll find it difficult to source such a plug (RG 11) singly, and
they're not easy to fit without the correct tools.

The same lead is used for most cordless phone base stations and modems and
is available from Maplin etc for a few quid.

Well I must thank you all for the quick response to my plea for help.
I rang Brother UK the manufacturers of the machine and they told me it would
be £22.05 + VAT + P&P
I went down to local computer shop (mate owns it), rifled through his junk
box and found a lead with the 6 pin plug on that I needed. Brought it home
and set to work with test meter, spare BT junction box and a spare phone
lead from my junk box.
Although there are 6 wires in the machine lead, only 4 of them are used, now
one would have thought that it was just a case of using the 4 wires in my
lead and connecting to the centre 4 wires of the machine lead. WRONG !
Got it all sorted now though.
Thanks again.
