Phone Line Splitters that lock

Bob5545 · 02-08-2013, 06:11 PM

I use DSL for my network internet connection. So I have to split the 3 line phone to accomodate DSL, Phones, Fax, Answering System. It is a mass of phone wires behind my desk. I have problems with the splitters coming apart and losing my internet, and office systems.

Does anyone make a better splitter that has a locking connection so this does not happen? All the ones I see are the snap in place with plastic tabs.

They are not very reliable.

Comments?

All this comes out of the wall? Visit a decent phone hardware supplier (hint: this will be in the industrial part of town, not a mall) and get a modular wall plate (also called Keystone). Replace the one wall jack with several and just plug everything in directly.

The tool you will need (NOT possible without it) runs $50-$70, so you might want to just call an inside-wiring company who will have boxes of the things in the van.
