Review on πŸ“ž AmerTac - Zenith TP1100ULA: Enhance Your Landline Telephone Experience with Almond 100 FT 4 Wire Round Station Wire by Tutan Dennard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not recommended as the best phone cord

Bought to replace an old phone line in a household. Installed with new CAT3 phone jacks. This cable is so thin that if you hit it, you won't damage the insulation by touching it. I had to strip down to bare copper, double it for thickness, and then punch it through. The copper was often so brittle that it simply broke. Absolute waste of my time and money. A standard home phone only needs 2 wires but this one has 6. Same as CAT3 but does not meet CAT3 specifications. I recommend using a higher quality cable such as CAT6 Solid Core. This is a 4 pair (8 core) cable but the copper is thicker and will not break like this material. Also, it works in CAT3 punch down port. Simply cut or wrap unnecessary pairs of wires.

Pros
  • Highly rated by testers for grip and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
