How many bad RJ-31Xs have you had? How would you know?

I had one the other day, that I unplugged, and the phone went dead. The
pins did not make good contact back to the shorting bars.

I've had lots of them. The CA38A jacks (same as your RJ31X) they sell up
here are made in China and are cheaply made. When there's problems of that
nature, I always change out the jack and plug. And that almost always solves
the problem.

I've had about 20 or so incidents like that over the last year...seems the
KISS principle to solving problems works here too...

I had a batch of about 50 that went in to the hopper. Thank the good folks
from China for them.
And to think there is so much technology in an RJ31X. Next we'll be selling
VCR technology to them.....

A few years back I had hundreds of them defective from ADI...either the pins were bad or the modular plug was so tight that I couldn't unplug them.

I use the sets that ADI sells (jack & cord) usually the cheapos.

Hadn't had a problem since, except for one the other day..the wires were coiled up under the gold pins once i noticed and moved them out of the way it was fine.

I used to have a ton of problems with both cords and blocks, turned out they
were made in Mexico

Had a ton of problems when we bought the "cheapo's"
from our old distributor in bulk, about a buck a piece.
Haven't had a bad RJ31X in about three years, since we
back switched to ADI.

Three or four over the years while installing them. I always test them (and
everything else).




Sometimes when that happens it's because the pins are misaligned. A gentle
touch with a dental pick (one of my standard tools) would always fix it.

Jesus Christ! Does this prick really think we were waiting on him to
return to answer all the questions in here?

Really, dude, (Robert), STFU and die!
