Does anyone know where I can find the above? It has a 4-prong phone
outlet at one end, a 3" or so modular cord, then a modular plug.

You could remove the old jack and install a new, modular outlet (jack) in its
place. The wiring is very simple. Good luck.

Yes, that is correct, but that's not my intent. Since I cannot find a
switched phone connector (to switch a phone on/off), I want to use the
4-prong setup to accomplish this. Continuously inserting and removing
the modular plugs causes the clip part to break off. I will plug the
modular plug into a 4-prong adapter, the adapter into the 4-prong
outlet which is plugged into the modular jack. I am open to
alternatives.


How about a phone with a ringer with an on/off?
