How to Wire a telephone jack?

Can i use cat 6 eithernet cable as telephone wire?

• Basicly, Can i go to wal mart buy a 100 foot cat 6 eithernet cable, Cut the ends off each side. and run that cat 6 wire from my outside telephone box to a cat 6 phone jack or do i need a certain kind of cat 6 cable to run a new phone line from the box outside to a new telephone jack inside?

• Answer:

  Yes, but you may need to change the RJ-45 connector at each end with an RJ-11. = Changing to CAT-6 will do nothing to improve your telephone service. You still have the miles of cable from the central office to your outside telephone box.
