Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows the name of this wire?

    The square plug is an RJ11. The white plug is a BT Phone plug. Hence RJ11 to BT Plug lead. It can also be described as a phone lead or modem lead.

    The one thing to look out for is how the RJ11 plug is wired. Some are wired as in the photo with the two wires on the centre pair of contacts. Others are wired to the outer pair. Obviously they are not compatible with each other so important to check how they are wired before handing over the cash.
