Ok, here is one for the telecomunication guys.....
I am running a phone line out to my shop (The Igloo) and I was going to tie into one of the lines coming into the house. Well I buy the line, I figure ya just hook up all of the lines to the samce color, right? Well, nothing is ever that easy, the phone line that the builder has coming into the house is a Cat3, The wire that I got is just a typical 4 wire phone line. And a typical phone only has two.... So my question is what wire goes where?? I worked on phones a while ago, so I am familar with the Tip, and Ring lines, but what gives with the Cat3 cable??? And ideas, or comments would be greatly appreciated.....
Ill post some pics of "The Igloo" once its finished
