Tips To Securely Install Telephone Cable

Telephone cables are generally installed by one of the installation executives of the telephone phone department. While the new constructions today already have slots for connecting telephones and broadband modems, many old buildings lack these slots and hence, it requires us to call an electrician or an installation executive from the telephone department to do the needful.

So, if your house doesn’t have proper telephone connection slots and you need one, here, in this post, we detail you on how to install a telephone cable inside your building.

Things required for installation:-

 
To aptly install a telephone cable, you will need some basic tools. These include:-

•    A good quality cable of desired length and durability,
•    Wall jacks,
•    A sturdy screwdriver,
•    Wire stripper, and
•    A drilling machine for making holes in the wall. 

Tips to Perfect Installation:-

Different points of the connection need to be taken into account while spreading the cable. First one being, the telephone cable connection – from your area’s telephone network point to the main jack box of the building, need to be connected. Further, the connection made with the main jack box needs to be extended to the portion of your home’s exterior wall. Many constructions, as said above, already have phone jack points. So, it's quite possible a jack may already be present for your ease.

To fix a wall jack, make a small hole at the point where you wish to affix the jack, using a drilling machine. It is very important to ensure the hole is apt in size. A bigger hold can add to your workload. Moving ahead, draw the cable of main jack to your home’s wall jack. Cautiously join the exterior end with the main jack by stripping the cable end with the help of a wire stripper. While joining the cable wires, wear leather gloves or rubber slippers to avoid any shocks as they are bad conductors of electricity. The next thing to do is to strip the other end of the cable drawn through the hole and then bind it to the wall jack securing the tips to the screws with a screwdriver. Once done, attach the jack to the wall.

Finally, connect the wall jack with the base of the phone using a plug. Check for the dialler tone. In case, there’s no dialler tone, either any one of the connections is loose and needs to be fixed or the cable you’ve used is not of good quality. There are a number of cable manufacturers in India that offer top quality cable wires. Ask your electrician to give you the best telephone cables for installation. Ensure all connections are secured tightly, and your phone is ready for use.
