PBX?
The standard cable used for the
conventional analog telephone line
is RJ-11, which has two conductors.
However, the four-conductor cables
commonly available are backward
compatible with RJ-11 and can be
used with no problem. On the other
hand, since these four-conductor
cables are also used for ISDN
systems, the number of elements is
not the key for identification of the
type of line/service.
