I saw some ads once about a thingie you snap on a telephone extension
cable and it pierces the wire and makes a jack right there. I own such
things for electical extensions. I don't remember what they are
called. I am trying to find a source on the net - for the phone kind.

Never seen 'em for phone lines. But if you are using a screw terminal
cack it wouldn't be hard to do the same thing much more reliably since
I would think trying to hit a single strand 22 ga wire but not any other
conductors might prove to be a bit problematic.

Take care,

Four pounds for 10 ?. Methinks he is talking about something for silver
satin cable, that would work.

Quite simply, THEY DON'T EXIST.


Phone cable is either twisted-pair -- so you can't reliably hit the internal
wires. or 'flat satin' cable with about a 36(!!) ga conductor -- to small to
hit reliably.
