Among the diversity of connectors for a telephone socket, several species should be highlighted:
- RJ 11 - with the presence of two wires. It is recommended for use in telephony when connecting a telephone device to a linear type telephone line.
- RJ 14 - has four wires and four contacts. This type of connector is suitable for most phones. To connect one telephone line in the room, you need to use contacts at number three and two. If the connection occurs in an office room where multiple telephone lines are required, then contact number 1 and 4. If there is a telephone socket, the invoice connection of the telephone line takes place with two contacts of green and red colors located in the middle of the connector.
- RJ 25 - has three pairs of contacts. This option is not suitable for self-connection and requires the presence of a telephony specialist. The connector connects the third and fourth contacts.

If there are several such sockets in the room, then they form a small chain, for the closure of which condensate is used.
Any of the above types of outlet involves the installation of a telephone cable to it, which have the same dimensions and plugs, and differ in just the value of the number of contacts.
Note that the generally accepted telephone socket of the connection scheme involves the installation of one telephone line using contacts having red or green.
To connect the indoor telephone socket, it is recommended to use a wire with a two-tier cross section. In the implementation of this process in public places in the form of offices, both three and six-tie cables are used.

- With the help of a sharp item, cut off part of the phone cable in such a way as to leave a small margin, stacked in the box, its length should not exceed ten centimeters.
- Enter the cable connection, and the installed outlet case is placed in the box and fix with the help of spacer screws.

We offer more detail the recommendations on connecting cables in the RJ 11 telephone socket 11, RJ 12. The first type of socket is distributed in a standard-type telephone network, and the second is well suited for connecting telephone vehicles that work in offices or other public places with a large load on telephony.
These types of sockets contain from 2 to 4 contacts, which have a form of a small plug made of metal, the cable veins are plugged between them. Connecting a telephone set to the central location contacts. To establish such sockets requires the presence of special equipment - a cross-boring knife. Although, in the presence of a certain experience and desire, this procedure is fully fulfilled with the assay stationery knife.
Connecting the outlet to the cable consists of such actions:
- removing the external braid cable at a distance of five centimeters;
- fragrants of all cable lived, they can be from two to six;
- laying lived in the grooves and their bulleting using a special tool or stationery knife;
- ensuring contact between telephone cable and outlet.
Features of the installation of a telephone socket
Before independently installing a telephone socket, you should pre-prepare tools and materials in the form of a socket, a multimeter and a special device with which the insulating layer of wires is removed.
By choosing a telephone socket, keep in mind that the RSTC models are already obsolete and practically not used, as not compatible with modern phones. To carry out their connection, you will need a cable with a cross section of about 0.3x0.3 mm.

Any of these types of outlets can be both double and single. In addition, there are sockets that are able to connect more than two telephone devices to themselves, but they are practically not in demand for installation in private homes or apartments.
If there are two telephone sets in the building, then a dual telephone socket is used.
Installing a double telephone socket is practically no different from the single installation. The only difference is the number of wires for connecting the cable.
And at the end of the outlet installation process, you should install two cables to provide parallel operation of two telephone sets.
