Connecting an internal telephone socket. How to connect telephone sockets to the cable correctly? Scheme and features

Telephone

Content:

Today, the main means of communication for most people has become mobile phone... But in our life, the well-forgotten old often acquires special value. Take at least a car of famous brands, produced several decades ago. So wire communication is slowly but surely drifting towards the attributes of luxury. For this and a number of other reasons, which basically everyone has their own, they do not refuse wire telephony.

And many, upon occasion, acquire it. The telephone socket is a mandatory attribute of this communication line. This article is written to help those who intend to get a wired phone. If there are fears that the wizard will install the outlet somehow wrong, after reading the article, everyone will probably be able to independently perform this installation.

What are the old-style telephone sockets

Among electrical appliances, there is a tendency to decrease in size and weight. Therefore, telephones in their modern form are reduced to the size of a telephone receiver. But retro style lovers use telephones with designs from the early 20th century. And the principle of wired communication has remained unchanged:

the same Automatic Telephone Station (PBX);
telephone cable with multiple cores, stretched from the PBX to the distribution box of the house;
a two-wire TRP wire, called "noodles", laid in each apartment.

Most telephones were stationary until about the 60s of the twentieth century. They joined the line in an all-in-one fashion. Their terminals were screw terminals. The telephone was, as they say, firmly tied to the socket. It was only possible to move away from it by the length of the connecting cord. But then the RTShK-4 socket appeared. Since then, it has been possible to install several such sockets in the room and carry the device with a short cord, connecting to the one that is given time convenient.

Installation of RTShK-4

It is not excluded that some readers who have decided to acquire a linear telephone will have an old device in mind, which will suit them perfectly. In this case, you can do a significant amount of work with your own hands and save some money. Moreover, if you have a high-quality apartment interior, you can lay the noodles yourself more accurately than with the hands of an outside worker. First of all, you need to choose the location of the outlet (one or more).

Then think over the route of the noodles. Measure its length from the outlet to the front door. The block, which is used to connect subscribers, is located on the floor either in the electrical panel or next to it in a separate box. Noodles come out of the apartment slightly above the upper edge of the front door, and at this height they are laid up to the flap. It is better to leave this part of the work to the masters who come to connect the phone.

For self-installation of the outlet, you can not buy noodles. But if you decide to lay a line with your own hands, so as not to collect it from pieces, you need to know the length of the noodles from the outlet to the shield. Within the apartment, it can be nailed to the wall along the selected route. It is better when the wire goes to the outlet closer to the ceiling than to the floor. With this option, it is more difficult to hook and damage it. Near the installation site of the socket, as well as near the front door, you must leave a margin in length to complete the connection.

It remains to drill a couple of holes for fixing the panel with terminals. To do this, simply attach the panel to the wall and trace the holes in it with a pencil. Then we drill holes for the dowels. When the holes are prepared and the dowels are installed, the terminal panel is screwed on and ready to attach the noodles. The standard connections in plug and socket are shown in the picture above.

The RTShK-4 provides for the installation of a condenser. The line switches to it when the plug is disconnected. This allows the PBX to check the integrity of the communication line. But now this is no longer relevant, so there is no need to install a capacitor.

Modern wired telephone connectors

Modern telephone sockets based on RJ (Registered Jack) connector. This connector is available in several versions, which differ in the number of contacts. Modem and wired users computer networks he is well known. Depending on the number of contacts, its name contains numbers 9, 11, 14, 25.

If the user of a telephone with an RTShK-4 socket needs to connect a modem or a modern telephone set, the easiest way is to use a modern modernized version of the RTShK-4, shown below.

It allows you to connect both old and modern telephone equipment to the line. RJ sockets are available in a wide variety of models. They can have a different combination of the number of connectors, as well as their purpose. Some of these connectors are shown below.

If the telephone contains an RJ, a pair of contacts is laid in it - this is a modification referred to as RJ11. An increase in the number of contacts in an outlet with one or another RJ modification means that it belongs to the PBX used in offices. To connect a telephone set, any option with more than two contacts is not justified both economically and technically.

The force required to remove or insert into any RJ jack configuration is small. For this reason, it is permissible to mount a socket of the simplest design based on double-sided adhesive tape. It adheres securely to the outlet. And if in a place suitable for placing the outlet there is a surface to which it can be glued, it makes sense to do so. For example, use a door frame as a base.

For reliable adhesion of the adhesive attachment to concrete or plaster, it is necessary to remove irregularities with emery and apply a layer of glue. After it dries, stick the connector.

On a panel with terminals and several connectors, all that remains is to select the one that is needed for the phone and attach the stripped noodle veins to them. Since they are thin and flexible, it is sufficient to unscrew the terminal screws by about 1 mm and wrap the core around the corresponding screw. If this procedure is performed on a working line, remember that it is energized. Modern products may have knife terminals. The veins in them are carefully threaded so that the insulation is cut.

In this case, a tool with insulated handles is used to strip the conductors. It is recommended to carry out installation, avoiding short circuits in the wire. Although this will not lead to consequences comparable to the 220 V network, the automatic telephone exchange is protected against short circuits in the line. If you connect a flush-mounted socket, you will need to make a recess for the socket - just like in the network analogue. The wire is laid in a wire separately from the 220 V network. Otherwise, there will be low-frequency interference.

This option requires a significant investment of time and effort. It is impossible with an already established interior due to dust and debris that will accompany the work performed. The choice of the option is up to the user.

Today cell Phones are available for every person. However, stationary devices have not gone anywhere from apartments, offices and administrative buildings. To install them correctly, as well as to install modems and faxes, a telephone jack is required. We will describe its types, installation methods and connection diagram below.

Types of telephone sockets

A communication socket for a low-current network is the place where the telephone is connected to the communication network. Outwardly, it represents small box, usually white. Sometimes it is called that - "telephone box".

By the number of connectors distinguish between single and multi-connector boxes. Of the many connectors, some are worth highlighting:

RJ 11 - has two wires available. Mainly used to connect to line telephone networks.
RJ 14 - with four pins and the same number of wires. This connector is used in most types of telephones. To connect equipment in a building where several lines need to be connected, contact # 1 and # 4 are used.
RJ 25 - there are three pairs of contacts here. Self-connection is fraught with special difficulties, so it is better to contact a specialist. The third and fourth contacts are involved in the connection.
RJ 9 - this type of connector connects the handset to the device itself.
RTShK 4 - in the old Soviet communication boxes there are four contacts and a key. This model assumes an all-in-one connection type. If there are several such outlets in the room, they usually form a small circuit. A capacitor is used to close it.

A two-wire wire is usually used to connect an outlet in an apartment. In administrative and office premises, a four-core or six-core cable can be used. Sometimes a twisted pair cable can also come up to the outlet.

Connection diagram for telephone socket RJ 11

In detail describe the connection diagram the most common connected box. It will be as follows:

Connecting the socket in a hidden way

To carry out the connection work, you will need the following materials and tools:

The communication cable is first connected to the installation site. The cable can be run along the skirting board, in a plastic box or stab.

Connection steps:

First, we select a crown for the perforator with a diameter equal to the size of the telephone box.
With a pencil we outline the outlines of the outlet, after which we drill a hole in the wall.
We install the telephone box into the wall and fix it with fittings.
To connect, you need a piece of cable no more than 10 cm. The rest can be cut off.
We clean the cable and make the connection. We fix the installation housing of the telephone box with spacer screws.
Install the outer frame and overlays.

Connecting a telephone socket to a communication system is simple, installation is carried out without the involvement of specialists. In order to install and correctly connect the wires, you need to know:

mains voltage;
color marking of the cable;
connector type and connection procedure.

Overhead telephone socket

Mains voltage

In the inactive mode of operation, 40-60 volts of direct current flow through the lines.

When a call comes in, this indicator reaches 120 volts, and at the time of picking up the tube, it drops to 6-12 V. This voltage does not pose a danger to human life and health.

It is impossible to damage the line and the device due to low currents. Even in the event of a short circuit in the network, the automatic telephone exchange (automatic telephone exchange) will automatically cut off the voltage.

Before starting work, the readiness of the network is checked. To do this, you need to check the power supply to the incoming cable.

A test is performed with a multimeter, in the DC voltage measurement mode.

In the absence of a connected telephone, a paralleled telephone receiver, the device will show values \u200b\u200bin the range of 40-60 volts.

Correctly connected home phone connects to the PBX via a plug.

In operation, connectors of three types are used:

soviet-style overhead socket RTShK (telephone plug socket with capacitor);
with a connector for an RJ-11 euro socket;
universal - allow connecting new and old plugs.

Connection of RTShK

This species is provided with 4 separate bolted wire contacts.

Required tools: knife and screwdriver.

Work order

The cover is unscrewed.
To connect the cable, use the right terminals. In order to test the line for an open, a capacitor is used (in the absence of a call, current flows through it), which is connected to the upper right contact and the lower left.
Wall mounted.

Mounting a plug is the connection of two wires to the terminals.

For correct operation, the main thing is that the wire coming from the network coincides with the telephone connection terminal in the connector.

Installation diagram of the RTShK socket

Plug-in socket connection

The universal patch socket is a symbiosis of the standard RTShK socket, which has been common since the times of the Soviet Union, and RJ-11 connectors for modern telephones or Internet providers.

Required tools: knife and screwdriver.

Work order

The cover is removed.
The line performance is checked using a multimeter.
The wires of a suitable cable are stripped and connected to the right pins of the connector (top and bottom). Polarity doesn't matter.
Fixed to the wall and closed with a lid.

Mounting the RJ-11 model

This type of modern connectors has many advantages over its counterparts:

the ability to use for several devices at the same time;
small size;
a large selection of colors.

There are such types of it:

waybill;
built-in;
combined for several types of communication - allows you to simultaneously connect an Internet wire and a telephone.

Installation tools: screwdriver, multimeter and knife.

Work order

Check for power on the incoming line using a multimeter. The device is set to the DC voltage measurement mode.
The body is removed. Inside there are four contact terminals with different colors.
The network cable is stripped to create a contact.
The line connects to the green and red wires. In this case, polarity is not required.
The case is closed. The cover socket is ready to use.

You can switch the line with the device by crimping a suitable network cable in the RJ-11 connector.

The wire will need to be stripped and inserted into the terminals with numbers 2, 3, polarity does not matter. Crimping is done to securely fix the cable in the plug. The factory wire is disconnected, the crimped line is connected directly to the device.

The installation of information switches on the one hand may seem easier than electrical lines. After all, they do not have a voltage of 220/50 dangerous for human life. But the installation and connection of a telephone socket is not as simple as it seems at first glance. This is due to a wide variety of stationary devices that are used in everyday life, as well as connectors, with the help of which the connection is made. Next, we will tell you how to connect a socket for a phone with your own hands, providing all the necessary diagrams and photo examples.

Types of connectors

Below are the varieties of new connectors:

Step-by-step installation instructions

So how do you install and connect your phone jack? First of all, it is necessary to check the presence of the device connection diagram. From the tools you will need a screwdriver, an electric drill, and the telephone socket itself.

Note: in working condition, the voltage on the line can rise to 120V. Therefore, in order to limit yourself from such unpleasant moments when installing and connecting the telephone socket to the network, it is better to use it.

Before proceeding with the installation, it is necessary to de-energize the electrical network. Then, using side cutters or a knife, remove the insulation from the conductors. This must be done carefully so as not to damage the veins. After all, if they are damaged, they will break easily. You need to strip the cable in length of 4 cm. Read about that in our article.

Use a tester to determine the polarity of the conductors. Typically, a telephone jack has a red positive lead and a green negative lead. But it is better to check, since it is not known how the installation and connection was carried out. If the device was not at hand, then the connection is made according to the existing plan (the diagram is attached to the device).

The next step after checking the polarity is to connect the cable cores as shown in the photo below. After that, a telephone socket is fixed on the wall. After installation, you need to connect to the network and test the installed device.

It should be noted that the housing can also be of the buried type. How to install and connect a hidden phone socket? First of all, it is necessary to apply markings on the wall where the device will be installed. Using a punch, make a hole and fix the structural elements with self-tapping screws. The assembly ends by attaching the protective housing and testing the fixture that has been installed.

If at home it is necessary to install and connect a 2-output telephone socket (installation of several devices with different phone numbers), then one nuance should be taken into account - installation takes place with a large number of conductors. But in general, there are no significant differences in work.

Connection diagrams

The polarity determination technique without an instrument has several advantages. It has been tested more than once. There are many options and when installing and connecting the device, there is a possibility of further confusion.

The telephone socket is installed according to certain schemes. Such a scheme is developed in advance. As a rule, the polarity does not really matter. But some telecommunications devices can fail or malfunction if not taken into account. The device connection diagram is provided below:

In order to simplify the installation, manufacturers carry out the marking of the contacts (the diagram and designation must be attached to the device). It can be in the form of numbers that are written near the contacts or on the diagram. Or the wires are designated with a specific color.

How the conductors of twisted pair cables are correctly labeled when the socket is installed and connected is indicated in the tables below:

Well, the last thing I would like to provide you - useful tips on connecting a telephone socket with your own hands. So, consider the following nuances during installation:

To date, the most popular is the internal phone socket. Since it is able to harmoniously fit into any interior of the room and is not very noticeable. But when installing it, it is necessary to take into account that the wall decoration may be damaged. And more time to spend.
You should buy products from trusted manufacturers. These include the Legrand and Vico companies. After all, they have already proven themselves positively in the modern market.
If the numbering of contacts was not indicated on the case of the purchased device, then you must familiarize yourself with the rules for marking wires by color. So green, blue and orange are used together with white to indicate positive contacts. For negative contacts, use the same colors, only without white.
The old format telephone socket has a different marking standard. Therefore, if the installation of just such a device is carried out, then you need to know these rules. For example, black, orange, and green are used for plus. For the minus - yellow, blue and red.

So we examined the technology of installing and connecting a telephone socket to the line. We hope the information provided helped you do the installation yourself!
