How to use

Insert the appropriate connector from the device or cable into the matching TAE or RJ-11 port on the adapter until it clicks or seats securely.

Verify the physical connection is secure and test the line for expected functionality, such as dial tone or data link, depending on the equipment in use. No additional drivers or power source are required.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid excessive bending or strain at the adapter’s ends and keep connections free from dust and moisture. Use the adapter indoors and in dry environments; inspect contacts if intermittent connection issues occur and replace the adapter if physical damage is visible.
