Voice cables and appropriate items to connect the cable voice adapter to the telephone,
modem, or FAX device at the site. Each telephone, modem, or FAX device requires a
two-wire or four-wire cable with an RJ-11 connector on at least one end; the connector
on the other end is usually also an RJ-11 connector, but this depends on the telephone
or FAX device being connected.

multiple telephones or fax devices on a VoIP telephone line; items and wiring must be
