BeoTalk 1200 / BeoCom 6000 Power Adapter RJ11 Wiring?

16 replies

I suggest that you either get the correct cable from a B&O dealer or you could make a cable, but do NOT solder on the base printed circuit module itself.

The following is a picture of the colours of the wires going into the plug in the Beocom 6000 base:-

 

The colours of the wires into the RJ11 plug are in the same order:-

  • Pin 2 is white
  • Pin 3 is green
  • Pin 4 is Blue
  • Pin 5 is Red

The pins of the RJ11 plug are counted from left to right with the gold pins facing you as above and pins 1 and 6 are missing in the B&O plug.

And as noted above, in mainland Europe (and US) the phone line uses pins 3 & 4 (i.e the two middle pins, as the connector may actually have four or even eight pins depending on the adapter - in Europe, the wall socket varies by country).

Whilst the cable FROM the "T" connector to the Telecoms provider socket is different by country, I am talking about the cable FROM the Beocom 6000 Pyramid base TO the "T" connector which is the same everywhere.

Certainly, but I thought about this guy who doesn't have any of the cabling, but wants to build them himself. All I'm saying is that the pins 3 & 4 in the pyramid connector will ultimately need to connect to the middle pins in the wall socket (or socket adapter) in mainland Europe (and US), or there will be no phone line connection...

Sorry that i was gone...had few virus related problems. im not gonna do the soldering myself...im gonna leave that to the pros....

im gonna try and fix it during the week and ill be back with the news...thank you soooo much for the picture and the explanation..

Keith, thanks for the wiring diagram!

Do you know about any difference to the Beocom 4? Same voltage and wiring? The wire colors are at least the same.
