Cablesys

Cablesys flat line cords are collected here, including a 7 foot 8P8C silver cord, a 25 foot 8P8C cord and 50 foot cords with 6P6C and 6P4C style ends.

Flat cords are a familiar fix for phone cabling, since they run under a desk or along a baseboard without bulk. People buy them to reach a wall jack from a desk phone, to extend a run or to replace a damaged cord. Match connector type and length before ordering, or call the KX-TD team at (866) 205-4112.

Before you order

  • Match the connector. Cords are listed as 6P4C and 8P8C, and the end must fit your jack and phone.
  • Measure the run. Lengths listed are 7, 14, 25 and 50 feet, so measure from phone to wall plus some slack.
  • Check cord color. Most listings are silver, so check it matches the other cords in the area.
  • Not sure? Send a photo of the old cord and we will help match it.

Flat line cord buying guide

Understanding connector codes

The numbers in 6P4C and 8P8C describe the plug. The first number is the positions in the plug and the second is the contacts in use. A 6P4C plug has 4 contacts, and an 8P8C plug has all 8. Match the code on your old cord.

Choosing a length

Cablesys flat cords are listed in 7, 14, 25 and 50 foot lengths. Measure the route the cord will take, including the run along a wall or under a desk. Add some slack, but avoid very long cords since extra length can pick up noise.

Flat or round cord

Flat cords lie flat against a baseboard or wall, and they are common for voice lines. Cat5e and Cat6 data cables are round, so do not swap one for the other. Flat line cord is for phones and not for networks.

Plugs for your own cords

Modular plugs are listed in a 100 pack, flat stranded 6P4C. Installers use them to make a custom length cord. You will need a crimp tool, and the plug has to match the cord type. Test the finished cord before you install it.

Common questions

Can I use a flat line cord for network data?

No. Use a Cat5e or Cat6 cable for data. Line cords are made for voice.

What cord do I need for a Panasonic phone?

Handset cords and line cords differ, so check your phone model, or contact us with it.

How do I check the length I need?

Run a string or tape from the phone to the wall jack along the path the cord will take, then add a little slack.
