Extended Phone Wiring
 

I need to extend my phone line and have some extra CAT5e cable. Can I use
this instead using the twisted pairs for line 1 and line 2, that is, green
to green, white/green to red, etc.?

No problem. Use a twisted pair for each phone line: green & white/green for
line 1; brown & white/brown for line 2, etc.

You can use any wires for ONE line. Heck, you can use bailing wire and coat
hangars. (Some folks do.)

Do it right. You never know when a second pair will be needed. In that case,
correct splicing is important:

Line old-style "quad" twisted-pair
^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^
L1 red/green blue/white

L2 yellow/black orange/white

L3 green/white

L4 brown/white

Will not work for DSL and already have a multitude of corded phones. I am
moving my computer to another room.
