That depends in part on the application. If it's for an ordinary telephone outlet, it's RJ-11. If it's for a phone handset is technically RJ-9 but is most often specified as a "handset cable."

Its actually an RJ9. A connector with only 4 pins( only 4 spots for pins) is the type used for handsets. Note: this is an unofficial Registered Jack since it does not connect directly to the public telephone system.
RJ11 is larger and is the part that plugs into the phone (on the telephone system side)
RJ11 = 6 position 2 conductor(one line)
RJ14 = 6 position 4 conductor(two lines)
RJ25 = 6 position 6 conductor(three lines)
A connector with only 4 positions is narrow and will not fit *properly* into a jack designed for a 6 position connector.
If your connector only has 4 positions, RJ9.
If your connector has 4 pins, but 6 positions, and has 4 wires, then it is RJ14
