Does a 100 Foot Coiled Handset Cord Exist...?

[LEDAdd1ct]

I hate wireless phones. The sound quality isn't there compared to a well designed corded telephone. Unfortunately, the longest coiled handset cord I can find is 50 feet long. While it is possible to string two of these together with a coupler, that introduces one more snag point, and additional points of contact.

Has anyone seen, heard of, or, does anyone know where to find a 100 foot long coiled handset cord? Barring that, does anyone know where I can find the cable to crimp my own? I realize it wouldn't be corded, but it is worth a shot.

Thank you!

I am still looking for either an online retailer or phone number to call.

If you know where to find custom lengths of handset cord, or can make them for me, please email me.

Thank you!

i found a site that has 50 footers. You could connect two together..

All the cordless phones I've ever used have sounded notably better than the corded ones, but they were some good cordless models versus cheap land-lines. And distance has never been an issue with the DECT 6.0 cordless phones I've used, even walking several hundred feet down the street doesn't affect the signal in the least..

The problem with a 100ft cord is probably going to be losses in quality through resistance. Much like a USB active repeater cable, likely there will come a need to amplify the signal halfway in between. Thats my explanation for why they don't make them that long :/

Hi, guys.

Still looking for the phantom 100 foot cord.

Anyone heard of anywhere to buy one...?

Just call these guys and have one custom built.

I can't imagine anyone making a 100' cord as a regular stock item. It would still be around 16' long when relaxed which would leave quite a bit of cord on the floor . . . unless you have your phone mounted 8 feet off the floor!

Ummm, buy another phone and install it 100' away.

:D

Plan B - Get a non-coiled version and an auto reel to play it in/out.

I think I called them before posting this thread and they said "No."
But, I will call them again.

One of my other fascinations (aside from lighting) is with vintage rotary phones.
The sound quality is unmatched, with the exception of a high quality SIP connection (no PSTN at all).

I'll call those guys and see what they say and post back.

Any of my wireless phones are equally as good as any wired ones i have/had,most are even better.

I'm glad you have had a positive experience.

I have never used a portable phone (meaning, connected to the POTS, Plain Old Telephone Service), or a wireless phone (meaning a "cell" phone), that had the ability to convey speech with the same depth and purity as two high quality telephones connected together, regardless as to whether they were both on the POTS or one through a cable modem / VoIP provider. :)

VoIP allows the use of studio microphone and headphones though, you can get broadcast-quality audio that isn't physically possible with any phone. Callers to Leo Laporte's radio show would frequently Skype in using a quality mic setup, which sounded weird because the person "on the phone" sounded as though they were in the studio with Leo..

I spoke with Catskill Supply and they said the minimum order quantity would be 1,000 pieces.

They also said that going beyond 25 feet could introduce signal degradation problems.

I have 50 foot cords which work fine.

He said his best suggestion was to try a handset coupler.

Apparently, many of the RJ-22 couplers out there are really just RJ-11 couplers with some padding stuffed inside. Interesting!

Running a long cord to the entire phone is not a quality concern because the line is treated as an audio frequency transmission line.
The same amount of resistance just in the handset circuit can cause frequency response problems and interfere with proper operation of echo suppression and side tone control circuitry.
