Please log in for more thread options Back in Jan, Feb and Mar I replace the same jack not once, but twice because it got wet from moisture in the wall, and the contacts corroded so badly that they literally fried themselves to pieces. It rained yesterday, and another RJ-14 jack at a different campus went bad. It, too, cooked itself to the point where the two middle contacts were just black crumbs, the two outer gold plated contacts stayed intact. I'm getting really tired of this. The first two were Leviton jacks, the last one was a biscuit made by armiger. I guess our digital PBX just puts out too much power to each phone. The last time I had this problem was many years ago.

Please log in for more thread options You can't do much about the pins in the jack, but have you tried some RTV on the back of the jack? It will be a REAL pain if you have to replace it again, but it may do some protection if the problem is due to moisture at the punchdown side. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Try a old trick from my Telco days. After you replace the jack, coat the connections and the cavity inside of the RJ with Petroleum Jelly, then insert a new mounting cord from the telephone. I used to carry a small tube in my toolbox for just these situations. The PJ will act as a water blocking gel, once you stop the moisture your repeat repairs should go way down. It should not effect the electricals of the telephone circuit. BTW the NIDs that servive providers use also have a gell in the jack for the customer side of the line. ------------------------------------- Watson A.Name - "Watt Sun, th wrote: > Back in Jan, Feb and Mar I replace the same jack not once, but twice

That's also an old trick, for when you replace car batteries. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It sort-of seals out the air, and has compounds in it to help neutralize acids and stabilize oxidized metals. Regards, Scott | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
