You never said you needed connectors.

Crimp 'em on yourself.

 

[sonz70]

Phone company?

 

[IamElectro]

Lowes sells it by the ft off of large spools.

Use wireless instead.

Edit: How much over 100 feet?

 

[deftron]

I think Lowes or Home Depot will crimp on connectors in store
after you get your total amount of wire.

That shouldn't be a significant issue with copper phone wiring. Crosstalk between the lines (if more than one is in use) and hum pickup can be a huge issue, though. Those issues can be solved cheaply and easily by using CAT5 for premises wiring.

yeah that extra 100 feet makes such a difference
compared to the thousands of feet of wire already running
to your house and through it.

 

[mindmaniac]

The Home Depot in my city will crimp the wiring for you.

 

[Kalbi]

aren't there like 5.8ghz phones now? or is it 11.6ghz?

OMGSUICIDEBOMBER!!!13




I kid.

 

[spidey07]

just buy some cat5 and connectors/crimpers at home depot.

As far as loss - it can go for 1000s of feet.

 

[thespeakerbox]

How can i use cat5 for my regular telephone, and does anyone know if i can use VOIP for a fax?

 

[huesmann]

You can use CAT5, just use the same color wires for each end of your line. Duh.

 

[Toasthead]

or just use those little connectors that aloow you to string together several runs of cable
100 ft connector to another 100 ft
repeat as needed

And do you know how many repeaters and distribution boxes those signals go through before they get to your property? There's a reason that cabling such as cat 5 is limmited in distance without repeating... I'm no expert, but I'd imagine that phone would be similar.

So can i get 120ft and have a safe run over a house?

YMMV, i dunno. Ask someone at home depot or radioshack.
