Special Forums IP Networking What RJ11 Cables Should I Use? Post 302916735 by hicksd8 on Thursday 11th of September 2014 03:16:02 PM

The answer to this question depends on which country you are in and the standards used by that country.

In the UK (where I am) the line from the telephone company is two core and this (normally) connects directly to the master (first) telephone socket on the premises. If there are second and more handsets on the line then four cores go on from this master socket to the second and subsequent sockets. One of these extra cores carries the 'ring' signal.

So, if you are only dealing with master sockets then two core RJ11 will be fine, but if you were plugging a modem into an extension socket it should still work but may NOT see an in-bound ring signal (assuming the Zoom modems are working to that country standard too).

Buying 4-core RJ11 is the safe option as extraneous cores would simply not be used on a master socket connection.

Hope that helps.
