Normally red and green. You can really use any color.. as long as the colors sync on each end...
What did I make? I made a DONGLE!!!
We had new VOIP phones installed.. and some in the office need headsets... Guess where the headset jack is?? Right.. on the back bottom of the damn phone!!! Yeah... lets just pick up the phone set everyday and drop it back down... Gonna last a long long time! So I made dongles...
See... I attached it to the side with industrial strength velcro so its much much easier to connect and disconnect. Had to special order RJ9 / 22 couplers... guess what again??? Yeah... cheap crap with a little plastic adapter from an rj11 coupler... el stupido!
But it works..
