Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to 28 AWG specifications, this telephone cable delivers the appropriate gauge for standard voice applications while maintaining manageable cable diameter. The flat profile reduces bulk and allows for cleaner routing under carpets, along baseboards, or through tight spaces where round cables might create installation challenges.
Both ends feature bare wire termination, providing maximum flexibility for custom connector installation. This approach supports various termination methods including punch-down blocks, screw terminals, or custom connector crimping based on specific installation requirements.

FAQ
What is the exact length of this telephone cable?
The Monoprice 952 telephone cable measures 1000 feet in total length, which is equivalent to 304.8 meters. This substantial bulk length makes it suitable for wiring multiple stations or covering extended distances in office environments, between buildings, or throughout larger residential properties.
What type of connectors are on each end of the cable?
Both ends of the cable feature bare wire termination with no pre-installed connectors. Each end has 1 x bare wire, providing maximum flexibility for custom termination to match your specific installation requirements. This allows for connection to punch-down blocks, screw terminals, or custom connector installation based on your equipment.
What does '28 AWG' mean for this telephone cable?
28 AWG refers to the American Wire Gauge standard, indicating the diameter of the individual conductors within the cable. 28 AWG is a common gauge for telephone applications, providing the appropriate balance between current-carrying capacity and physical flexibility. This gauge ensures reliable signal transmission for voice communications while maintaining manageable cable diameter.
What are the advantages of the flat cable design?
The flat design offers several practical advantages: it reduces installation bulk, allows for easier routing under carpets or along baseboards, minimizes tripping hazards when installed across floors, and provides a cleaner appearance when run along walls or through visible areas. The low profile also makes it easier to paint over or conceal in finished spaces.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installation?
The product specifications indicate a silver-colored jacket without specific outdoor rating details. For optimal performance and longevity, this cable is designed for indoor telephone applications. For outdoor installations, consider cables specifically rated for exterior use with appropriate weather resistance and UV protection to ensure long-term reliability in exposed environments.
What warranty coverage does this telephone cable include?
Monoprice provides a lifetime limited warranty for this telephone cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product when used under normal conditions. The warranty reflects confidence in the cable's construction quality and provides long-term assurance for your telecommunications infrastructure investment.
