Tips

To ensure a correct and reliable installation of your S-TEC Telephone Socket 4x2, please consider the following expert advice.

• Professional Installation Recommended: While telephone wiring is low-voltage, achieving a high-quality, noise-free termination requires the correct tools and technique. For the best voice clarity and internet stability, installation by a telecommunications technician or qualified electrician is recommended.
• CRITICAL: NOT AN ETHERNET/COMPUTER SOCKET: This is an RJ11 telephone socket. It is NOT compatible with RJ45 computer networking (Ethernet) plugs. An RJ45 plug is wider and will not fit. Do not force it. For computer network points, use the S-TEC Computer Socket (STI-1265).
• Use High-Quality Telephone Cable: For the best performance, especially for ADSL/VDSL internet, ensure that high-quality, twisted-pair telephone cable (e.g., CW1308) is used for the wiring run to the socket.
• Not for Power: This socket is designed for low-voltage communication signals only. It cannot be used to supply electrical power to any device.
• Cleaning: To clean the socket plate, use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents, as they can damage the finish.
