AT&T>Lucent>Avaya just pressed 6P4C plugs on the ends of the premises wiring and wrapped the spares back. I have run across their installs using 4 conductor JK wire but never silver satin line cordage. What would you do at the jack end? Run it right to the phone?
The 8P4C jacks on the Partner allowed plug and play upgrades from the Merlin. But just because with a Merlin upgrade you have to connect directly to the KSU doesn't mean that you should do it that way with a new Partner install.
Avaya / AT&T always used 4 wire cords that they called "cordage" and i have found many of their installations to be neat and clean.
That's because nobody got to it yet. But then again, these days any installation, no matter how you do it and how neat you make it will likely turn to s*** with what's out there today.
