ISDN Adapter ShiverPeaks 71017-1 Western plug 6/4 to TAE

The ISDN adapter ShiverPeaks 71017-1 Western plug 6/4 to TAE is an interface adapter that converts a Western (6/4) telephone connector to a German TAE socket for ISDN equipment. It enables direct connection of devices with a Western 6/4 plug to TAE sockets commonly found on routers, terminal adapters and wall outlets in German installations. The adapter is intended to provide connector compatibility without modifying existing cabling, supporting telephone and ISDN data connections where a connector change is required.

Advantages

This adapter provides a compact and simple solution for adapting between Western 6/4 plugs and TAE sockets. It preserves signal integrity by avoiding invasive cable alterations and reduces installation time by enabling plug-and-play connection. The design is compatible with standard ISDN devices and wall outlets, offering reliable mechanical fit and electrical contact for standard voice and ISDN signaling.

Suitable for

• Connecting ISDN phones or terminal adapters with Western 6/4 plugs to TAE wall sockets
• Adapting routers, ISDN NT/TA devices or PBX interfaces that require a TAE connection
• Temporary or permanent installations where cabling cannot be changed
• Field technicians and installers needing quick connector adaptation on-site

Key specifications

• Connector conversion: Western 6/4 (plug) to TAE (socket)
• Intended use: ISDN telephone and data connections
• Contact configuration: 4-conductor wiring compatible with standard ISDN pins
• Mechanical format: compact inline adapter for direct plug-in use

How to use

Insert the Western 6/4 plug from your ISDN device into the adapter's Western connector and then plug the adapter's TAE socket into the TAE outlet or cable. Ensure the connectors are seated firmly to maintain reliable electrical contact. Verify device functionality after connection; for ISDN equipment, check line status and dial tone or data link indicators on the connected device. No tools or cable modification are required for standard installations.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter in dry, indoor environments and avoid excessive bending or strain on the connectors. If signal issues persist, inspect connectors for dirt or damage and confirm device and line configurations are correct for ISDN operation.
