RJ-11 (Telephone) Cable
The RJ-11 cable is commonly used for telephone connection.
Wiring Conventions
For telephone connections, a cable requires one pair of wires. Each wire is identified by different colours. For
instance, one wire might be red and the other, red with white stripes. Also, an RJ-11 connector must be
attached to both ends of the cable.
Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-11 connectors in a specific orientation. The following figure
illustrates how the pins on the RJ-11 connector are numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same
orientation when attaching the wires to the pins.
Figure 9:
RJ-11 Connector Pin Numbers
The RJ-11 pair of wires is wired so that pins 3 and 4 are connected to the Ring and Tip, which meets the
following requirements:
EIA/TIA-IS 968

Caution:
Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port.
