Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle finding some RJ11 cable short enough for me.
I need a cable that is preferably about 10 cm long (no more than 30cm) with RJ11 connectors on either side.
Does anyone know where I could buy this?

I have loads of cable with RJ11 connectors but they're all about 5m+, I would cut them then re-attach the connector but I have no electrical skills and I don't think they can be re-attached.

Advice? :|

Ive seen some about that size used in server rooms but I think they were all custom made

They can be reattached, just you need a new RJ11 connector and a crimp.

My dad makes RJ11 and RJ45 cables quite often.

You don't need electrical experience... just need to write down the order of the cables colours.

And yea you have to have crimpers or you wont get a solid connection (eithernet crimpers are different than the RJ11 ones so be careful).

Crimpers? (thought they were for hair curling ha).

I'll look for an online store that sells them then.
