A land-line telephone typically has a base with a handset. The coiled cord that connects the base to the handset has an RJ22 connector on each end of the cord, one that plugs into the handset and the other into the base. The RJ22 connector is smaller than the RJ11 connector that is used to connect the base to the telephone service. If your coiled handset cord becomes damaged, you can cut out the broken section of wire and install a phone cord line plug connector RJ22 on the end of the wire. Writer Bio
