That is a piece of cat 5 cable Well they're not making an ethernet cable! Sure, if they were making an ethernet cable they would have had to use all pairs on RJ But since it's not an ethernet cable, it doesn't have to meet the official ethernet cable specifications.
Ethernet cable.

Well, you'd be wrong. Cable is labeled as rated for a certain spec and is called by that spec. If you ask them in store where it is they just point you to an isle that contains both.
In specialty shops if you just say you need CAT5e they will ask whether you want bulk or terminated. My house was wired with CAT5e cable instead of phone line by my request and left unterminated at the home run also my request. They had to terminate the room ends I guess but it was all RJ11 female jack plates. I re-jacked with CAT5e keystone jacks and then terminated the other end myself. The cable from the outside is patched into a phone patch panel similar to this that has a normal RJ11 extension jack which is where the DSL modem is plugged into.
The particular modem I have uses RJ11 on both sides. I've created that cable out of CAT5e before and it's not really any big deal to do so. I actually found, in my previous house, that rewiring from CAT3 to CAT5e terminated with the "A" spec on the keystone jack end and to a phone patch panel on the other cleaned up the signal significantly.

Since like the late 90s. You need POTS lines? I mean, I understand some companies think they still need analog fax, or whatever, but Even e, etc. Otherwise, join the rest of us in the 21st century, and use VoIP.
The products are there if you really need them, the sell through is low, nobody cares. While we're talking about legacy crap I remember the days of a testbench full of OC-3 equipment and Dolch lunchbox portable machines What the hell is this cable? Die fast. About Me Wiki.

July 2, at am. Thank you. Robert Goldstein says:. Screw on RG-6 coaxial cable to the coax output on the U-verse decoder, if it is unduly difficult to install Ethernet throughout the house. All U-verse signals can be carried to U-verse decoders via coax if needed. Remember that laptops and desktops will require a wireless included or wired Ethernet cable to gain access to the Internet.
Though these speeds are lower than what is offered via Fios they are still a major upgrade when compared to standard DSL. These speeds are traditionally faster than standard cable or DSL.
The phone service offered by Uverse is not much different than that which you would expect from a standard VoIP Voice over Internet Protocol provider.
