Hello everyone,
I have a phone extension cord pulled from one side of a room to another
one
(around the room, under the carpet). The thing is that the extension cord
is
way too long, which results in big bundle of unused cable at the "output"
location. I'd like to cut the cable down, and re-attach a new phone plug
onto the new end. My y question is - is there a way of attaching a plug
onto
the cable without that special "crimping" tool. I don't really feel like
buying this tool just to do a one time job (I will if I need to) but
thought
that perhaps there's another way of doing this. I'd greatly appreciate any
information or advice. Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Alan D.


Cut the plug and a few inches of wire off the cord. Cut off the excess wire.
Re-splice the red and green wires - twist will work, solder is better. Tape
joint. Done.
