Need help installing a telephone jack

Bob · 2017-09-08T19:39:54+00:00

I bought a phone jack with four terminals labeled "G" (green), "R" (red), "Y" (yellow), and "B" (black). However, none of the wires in the telephone cable in the wall have those colors. See the photo at: Which wire do I attach to each terminal in the phone jack? Thanks in advance.

Glad to hear you stuck with it and made it work.

BTW, what did you decide on for deskset for Grandma ?

It is connected to the Blue-Blue/white pair. If you look at the top of the wire "nest" you'll see the true Gray pair.
