I've found this which lists them all - http://kropla.com/phones2.htm - however it is copyrighted. Can a list of information be copyrighted? Secretlondon 17:34, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

There seemed to be German standard de:Anschlussdose before standard TAE (currently solely mentioned in list). -- Abdull 17:40, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
== It is still not clear in the Telephone Plug description if it is female or male.
Wasn't there an early type of GPO Phone Socket, which was bulky and looked like a large Jack Plug?
Does the old Bell connector have a name, or desingation?
Oh, I also deleted the merge thingy, as that has been taken care of

over and over, people have repeatedly mistaken phone jacks/ telephone plugs, for ethernet plugs. because they look exactly the same, but ethernet is wider. but because the plugs themselves are usually clear, its impossible to tell its width if your looking in a tangle of wires. there needs to be a mention of that, that they should not be confused. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NullVoid Omega ( talk • contribs) 22:33, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Norway does not actually use the RJ11, although the plug used is compatible with RJ11 phones and equipment.
The actual plug is an 8P?C -- as I no longer live in Norway and never thought to check when I did, I don't know how many of the conductors are actually connected. I suspect it depends on the number of phone lines a subscriber has, in which case this might actually legitimately be an RJ45 connector.
I've not updated the page because I don't know how to describe the actual jack; I'm hoping somebody in Norway can investigate which variation of RJ45/8P?C applies. -Stian ( talk) 05:27, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
The old 3 prong outlets used the 3 pin for different purposes depending on system. Moast common grounding for recall of register in offices. Earlier systems and party lines could use thid for reingers between ground and one of the lines. Extra ringer would be put in series with this 3'rd line. Moast installations did not use the 3'rd pin, but were used as this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/dsk/Telephone/Telefonkontakt1.jpg (I have trouble with uploading pictures, but feel free to use this, its mine) The 8/8 plug is configured as 6/6 plugs, usually only the 2 center pins used. dsk —Preceding Dsk ( talk • contribs) 14:29, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Polarity on RJ11 & RJ14 should always be reversed (like patch cables)
Polarity pin-outs are is reversed on POTS / PSTN cables Particularly in DSL cables, but also generally.
E.g., on an RJ11 the center wires will be
Green / Red on one end, and
Red / Green on the other.
On an RJ14, the pin-out wiring on one end will beL
Yellow / Green / Red / Black
and on the other, exactly reversed:
Black / Red / Green / Yellow.

As far as I know, outside demarcation is now usual for US phone wiring. Is this also true in other countries? Gah4 ( talk) 04:19, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
