Hi,

Know it's a very good idea to cover all electrical outlets with
those Kiddy-safe blank plugs when you have a toddler around, but
is it also necessary for unused phone jacks ?

BTW: what's the max. voltage out of these things ?

guess it is also different "normally," and when a call is being
received. True ? What's the volt. then ?

Do they sell blank plugs for phone wall/floor mounted outlet jacks ? Have never seen any.

Thanks,
Bob



Phone jack is not the term. Telephone or RJ style jack. Those plugs are
pretty hard to get out sometimes, so a blank plug would probably work, as
well as DUCT TAPE. The local Internet outlet should be safe.

Phone plug can be a telephone plug for switch operators of old, looks like
a 1/4 inch headphone plug. Used mostly in audio. Sometimes also amplifier
outputs, speaker inputs.

Phono plug is another, for phonographs.

Usually referred to as an RCA jack Greg, by us old timers.
