Adding a Phone Extension

Electrical and Lighting, Repairs and Installation, Ask Danny Published 06/20/2008 by Danny Lipford


Can you run an extension line off an already in use phone jack to a room which may not have one? - Robert

Hi Robert,

It’s easy to extend a line from an existing phone jack to a new one in another room. Simply unscrew the existing jack from the wall, and attach the color coded wires for the new cable to the matching terminals. Then run the cable to the new jack and attach the matching wires to it.

For more information on hooking up a phone line, see our articles on How to Install a Phone Jack and Replacing a Telephone Jack.
