InLine 18749 Modular Telephone Cable RJ12 6P6C 6-Core 20m

The InLine 18749 is a high-quality modular round telephone cable designed for reliable signal transmission in telecommunication systems and office equipment. Featuring RJ12 connectors on both ends, this 6-core 6P6C cable provides a stable and secure connection for various networking and communication tasks. Its 20-meter length offers flexibility for installations where devices are positioned at a distance from connection points.

Advantages

This cable is engineered with pure copper conductors in an AWG26 gauge, which significantly reduces line resistance to ensure consistent signal quality even over longer distances. The robust, moulded RJ12 connectors provide enhanced mechanical stability, protecting the connection points during frequent use or in environments where cables are regularly plugged and unplugged. The round cable design is more flexible and easier to route than standard flat cables, facilitating neat and organized cable management in professional or home office settings. Furthermore, the fully pinned 6P6C configuration ensures that all six signal paths are active, making it compatible with a wide range of specialized equipment.

Suitable for

• Telecommunication systems and telephone handsets
• Fax machines and office communication equipment
• Control and regulation systems
• Sensor technology applications
• Signal-carrying systems requiring 6-core connectivity

This cable may not be suitable for high-speed data networking applications such as Ethernet or Gigabit LAN, as it is specifically designed for modular telephone and signal control standards. It should not be used in environments where the cable might be exposed to extreme heat, sharp edges, or heavy mechanical stress that could compromise the integrity of the internal copper conductors.

Key specifications

• Configuration: 6P6C (6-pin, 6-contact)
• Wiring: 6-wire full pinout
• Conductor material: Pure copper
• Conductor gauge: AWG26
• Cable shape: Round
• Length: 20 meters
• Colour: Grey (RAL 7035)

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ12 connector into the corresponding modular port on your telephone, control unit, or office device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is routed away from high-voltage power lines to prevent potential electromagnetic interference. When disconnecting, press the locking tab on the connector gently before pulling it out of the port to avoid damaging the plug or the socket.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment specifically requires an RJ12 6P6C connector, as it is physically similar to but distinct from RJ11 or RJ45 connectors.
• Ensure the 20-meter length is sufficient for your installation needs without creating excessive slack that could become a tripping hazard.
• Check if your device requires a fully pinned 6-core cable or if a standard 4-core cable would suffice.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles or placing heavy objects on top of it. Regularly inspect the connectors for dust or debris to maintain a clean electrical contact.
