If you don't have Cat5 in the walls, there's not much reason to use Cat5 as a patch cable either - unless you just have nothing better to do with it.

If you need instructions on how to make connections, etc. - take a look at http://phonewiring.safewatchservice.com

Good luck!

As long as it matches the USOC standard on the other side of the jack, you'll be fine.

sharp ux-p105/ux-p200: is the make and model of fax Phone.., checked out the running options and made sure it was set to Fax and not phone., When a fax comes in the display window says 'receiving' but no fax will come. When the fax is sent again to this device, we hit the start key and now it works. But will not work if left idle by itself. It sends with no problems.., what could it be???
