we just bought this house and want to put a phone in the
kitchen..unfortunatly, the wires are bare....now we bought the jack
and went to install it, and found that there are only three wires
coming out of the hole, red, green and yellow..no black,,,
how can we install this new jack to an old line that has only the
three colored wires?
More than likely, all you need are the green and red wires. The
black and yellow wires would be used for a second line if you had
one. In a normal residential system, they are not used, even though
they may be hooked to terminals as if they are.
A telco will NEVER use the yellow and black lines for a second line
with a normal RJ-11 installation. Those are for lights and grounds
in key systems, etc..
You are wrong. This is very common in residential installations.
People have a second line for the kids or whatever and it goes on the
yellow and black wires.
You can't read: READ what I said: "A telco will ... ". Using those
wires for a phone line can of course be done. ANY wires could be used.
But you'll never get a telco to work on them ever again; all they would
offer to do would be to rip it out and replace it with properly wired
system.
Up your reading comprehension skills. Hell, I could use 10 ga green
wires if I wanted to. But come back to earth Scottie.
You are still wrong. The telco uses yellow/black for a second line in
residential installations. It would make no difference who does the
inside wiring, as the telco would still be the ones to wire it THAT
WAY where it enters the house. If you take apart any modern analog
2-line phone, you will discover that it is MANUFACTURED to expect the
second line to be on the yellow/black pair. Gee, I wonder why?
Please also not that when JK wire is diagramed, the wires are labeled:
green =tip 1
red=ring 2
black= tip 2
yellow ring 2
Case CLOSED
