Line booster?

[v***@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.com]

I have a certain extention that is almost 100ft with several junctions.

It seemt the last 25 ft don't work. Are there devices which
strengthen/extend the signals?

There are amplifiers for long loops

but if it's a digital you may be out of luck

Take care,

So, after traveling via crummy old low grade telephone cable for
anything from 1 to 5 miles from the telco to your house, that
last 100 feet is killing it????

You've got a cabling problem, which if fixed will allow
it to work just fine without any for of loop extender.

Check all of those "several junctions".

What Floyd said.... A friend is 41,500 feet from his CO. He managed to
kill his phone with a bad 25 ft cable. [The modular jack on the end was
corroded and shorting out...]

Now see when I read extension in the OP I thought single line extension
on a key or PBX system. Those have very finite distances that are far
less than several miles. It also depends on how many devices he has on
that extension.

You are right.. a modem worked but a cheap telephone
didn't.. but the cheap phone had worked
without the last extension..


I'm wondering tho.. I'm going
bats trying to find those self-piercing connectors you snap onto a
phone wire and they add an outler right on the wire. I got
them for AC power and I've seen them for
phone, but I can't locate any of them online!
