RJ31X wiring diagram
Fightcrime
There have been questions in the past about wiring RJ31X jacks,
and some people have listed the ways to wire them, other sites
have long drawn out instructions for wiring them...I have drawn a
color diagram in the simplest form on how to wire a RJ31X jack
and posted it on my site, it can be viewed under the HELP section
on my website or you can reach it directly at...

In reference to your diagram, I believe it is wrong. Before we were allowed to wire in our own jacks, the tel co wired
them red/green from the splice to the jack and used yellow/black to the customer's phone block. We have continued this
pattern of wire colours.
This method will allow anyone who accesses the phone bloce to immediately know that there is a jack with line seizure in
the home. (noting black/yellow for incoming phone) It will also make it easy to ID the incoming hot tel wires inside
the alarm jack (red/green).
Possibly just a Canadian method, but I always thought that Canada and the US had very similar if not identical tel
systems.

In the toronto area, at bell employees use whatever colour comes to hand, mose new houses are getting three pair run in,
then the blue/white pair is run to the terminal block, if we changed the colours, how could you easily ID lines
one/two/three? Besides, install three RJ31 / RJ38 jacks, and you have the wiring memorized. (and most alarm manuals have a
diagram as well)

that has been wired for high speed services.

Color here is really just a personal preference, the
important thing here is the way it is wired, meaning that
the IN & OUT of the jack is wired correctly.

This is our way also. Never had a problem with it.
Just adding my 2 cents from Chattanooga Tenn.

I have been unable to locate a CAT 5 compliant RJ31X. I deal with a company who supplies BC Tel and they don't have
such a product or do they know where one can be located.
BTW, regular CAT 3 wire is more than sufficient for a standard 33.6 or 56K modem. Only ISDN and faster would require
CAT 5 anyway, and if you can afford the service, I would recommend a dedicated line. So it shouldn't be a problem.

Right you are. BC Tel insists we use the blue pair for ring/tip and the orange pair for tip1/ring1. That's how they've
always done it, and continuing the standard they've already set makes sense. (they also insist we run 4 pair).
Unfortunately alarm manuals don't give colours on the telco side of the jack. Only on the alarm side.

ISDN doesn't require CAT 5. It's designed to run over standard pairs.
I have a decidedly not CAT 5 cable connecting my ISDN TA to the wall jack, where it connects as a second pair on the phone
cable running in my house (which also isn't CAT 5). :-)
