How to Wire a telephone jack?

No Telephone Jack upstairs- what to do?

  • We have no telephone jack upstairs and can't always rely on wireless networking for cordless or broadband so definitely need a telephone jack/port/box thing. There are 2 jacks downstairs but its impossible to bring a connection wire from either of them without having wires around the lounge which will make it look really messy. Any idea would be great please. Thanks

  • Answer:

    put a junction box on the current one and run a wire upstairs

What you do is run the extension cable on the outside of the house. You need exterior telephone cable which is black and reinforced. Any good electrical merchant will carry it and some will cut it to you requirements. Be careful when stripping it as there is a razor sharp core which will cut you badly if you are not careful. You run this cable from the master socket back through the external wall to where it is needed, terminating with an extension socket. You will need a box of clips to suit the cable dia. and a long masonry drill. TLC will have all you need if there is one near you.There are tutorials on the net to give you the wiring colours.

Try checking Radio Shack for catalog # 43-160 . It is a box that plugs into the phone line &the AC power and the other part plugs into the power line upstairs anywhere.

Hard to say without knowing the specific situation. Drill hole to upstairs? Drop a cable through a cavity wall?
