IPOffice line cords - 01/10/13 12:42 AM
I've been researching the IP Office a bit to prepare for the classes and I installed one for the first time last week (preconfigured; I was just the meat on the floor).
As I unpacked the phones, I noticed two different line cords in the box: a black 8p2c to 8p2c cord and a grey 8p2c to 6p2c cord. I used the black ones because the guys who wired the place used 8p jacks for both voice and data (don't get me started...) and had no issues but after I got home I got to wondering what the other cord was for. Do they include both styles so that you have the option of using a cord that fits the jacks on both ends regardless of the site's house wiring or is there some other purpose for them?
