What is the gauge of the wires inside the cable?

The cable contains 6 x 26AWG stranded wires.

How should I store the remaining cable on the reel?

What are the dimensions of the flat cable?

While exact dimensions are not provided, its flat design allows for easy routing, typically fitting under carpets or along walls discreetly.

Troubleshooting

No dial tone or intermittent connection

Check that all modular connectors are securely plugged in at both ends. Inspect the cable for any visible damage, cuts, or kinks. Ensure the correct wires are used for standard analog telephone service.

Static or poor voice quality

The cable may be too close to sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., power cords, appliances). Reroute the cable if possible. Ensure connections are clean and free of debris.

Cable is difficult to route

While flexible, the flat design may require careful placement. Use appropriate cable management accessories like clips or raceways. Avoid sharp bends that could damage the wires.
