Nope - Telephones use an RJ-45 connector, while cable TV uses a BNC-style connector. See related links for comparisons.

How do you plug in the ether net cable?

They do not plug into a phone jack as the ethernet plug looks the same, but is larger. They should slip right in to the right connection spot and have a clip like thing that you push to remove them, just like a phone jack cable has.

What is the difference between cable modem and DSL Internet service?

One main difference is that you need to have cable television in order to have a cable modem, but DSL runs through a standard telephone line and jack. Another main difference that is helpful in selection which service to use is that DSL requires you to live within a certain distance of a phone tower to get signal, while cable does not. Also, with DSL, you get the same speed no matter what, but with cable, your speed is affected by how many other people are using tat cable service at the same time.


How do you identify the four wires on security camera since the phone plug is cut off blue white orange yellow?

Check the additional information and suggestion if you have the same type of set-up as I do, because the hard part for me was figuring out what colors went to what colors on the Audio/Video/Power cable that connects to the TV since they were not the same.The wires from the camera are blue, white, orange and yellow.White=groundYellow=AudioBlue=VideoOrange=V+ (7.5vdc)The wires on the Audio/Video/Power cable are black, green, yellow and red. If you look closely at the bottom side of the plug that looks like a telephone cord you'll be able to see the wire colors through the plug casing.I suggest buying a home telephone jack with the same color wires as the AVP Cable as I did this makes wiring a breeze as you simply wire the camera to the phone jack as follows.From camera White Black On Phone JackFrom camera Blue Green On Phone JackFrom camera Yellow Yellow On Phone JackFrom camera Orange Red On Phone JackThen just plug AVP cable into the phone jack once done.


What is a phone jack?

Generally speaking, a phone jack is a small, plastic, standard sized connection that is used to plug a telephone line into an outlet on a wall. Sometimes the both the outlet and the jack itself are referred to as phone jacks. Phone jacks usually have two pairs of wires, red and green, yellow and black. A phone jack is a modular (RJ11) socket in the wall, phone, fax machine, modem , or computer device that lets you insert a telephone wire with modular connectors at the end to allow connecting a communicating device to the telephone system. Not all modular connectors are the same. RJ11 is used for phone systems. RJ45 are different sized connectors used for internet (ethernet) wires. Before modular connectors became popular, a phone jack was a square shaped jack with a round hole in each corner. A wire from a phone would end in a plug similarly shaped with metal connectors that would insert into the holes in the jack. To prevent plugging in incorrectly, some of the holes were positioned off center.

Can you use a phone cable as a Ethernet cable?

Maybe, depending on what you mean by "phone cable." Those intended for home use probably won't work (the connectors aren't really even compatible), but those meant for 8-pin office phones might work. If you're not sure the cables are compatible, it's probably not a good idea to try it; you could potentially damage your hardware. No ethernet cable are not phone cable and only look the same. The ethernet plugs are larger
