What is the best way to connect two telephone wires?

Answer 1

To make one long wire, use a coupler, available for $3 at any hardware store.

Answer 2

if you are talking about line cords then you should consider running a new jack closer to the location where you need the dial tone, but in the mean time you can use a coupler (can be found at the 99 cent store)

If you mean connecting telephone wiring, I do not recomend splicing, if you can not replace the whole wire and you are able to, place a jack where the splice is to be made, and connect both wires to the screws inside the jack, This is my prefered method, as over time the wire cuts thru tape, and causes troubles.

3M squeeze connectors, scotch locks, goomys, mike and ikes (many phone guys call them diffrent things) are the best to use if you absoloutly must splice... you do not strip the wire, they crimp onto the wire, and are filled with a gel, so for the most part are water proof... if you are doing this somewhere exposed inside I recommend wrapping the whole thing with white elect. tape when your done, to make it look alittle neater (the yellow connecters fit 2 wires the red ones fit 3) outside i would wrap the splice real good to ensure no water gets in there...

Look at tring to replace the whole thing, or connecting inside a jack before any splicing.... a splice is just a future point of failure..

Answer 3

You dont want to use vynal or electrical tape as suggested above may work, but is a no no according to industry standards. You want to use Scotch locks, these are specifically designed to splice telephone wire together. All you do is match up color to color (white/blue to white/blue, blue/white to blue /white and so on) .

Answer 4

splicing two together (bare wire) - use a telephone splice connector with a squeeze tap.
a connection block with screws (keep color to color)
strip and twist color to color wires and tape with vinyl tape

two wires with rj11/14 connectors - 4 wire (not a 4 line) coupler

Answer 5

Use an RJ11 coupler.
