Linksys HomeLink™ Series

Telephone Cabling

The telephone cables you use to build your HomeLink network can be either
crossover or straight-through cables.  The connectors on phone cables are called
RJ-11 connectors, and have four wires inside the plastic tips.  

Standard telephone cables like the ones you use every day in your home should
do the job.
