Cord Buying Guide: I know, buying a cord isn't exactly rocket science, but there's a few things to know to help avoid confusion and misunderstandings. Types. There are two types of connectors for cords. Spaded or "hard wired" and modular. Spaded cords use spade tipped wires connected directly to terminals inside the phone. Modular are the cords with the little square clear plastic clips that allow you to disconnect the cord with ease. Handset Cord Lengths. This is where the most confusion and misunderstandings happen. The length of a handset cord is a measure of the actual material used to make the cord. In other words, an 8 foot cord is made from 8 feet of cord, but once coiled up is only going to be about 12 inches or so. A 12 foot cord is around 18 inches and a 25 foot cord is around 36 inches. Color. Most phones out there conform to the standard color palette of Western Electric phones with a few exceptions. For example, Automatic Electric's green (Jade Green) is different from Western Electric's green (Moss Green). The biggest variation comes into play with red. Western Electric's red is a dark red whereas most other phone companies used a bright red. If you're not sure, consult with the seller on what color you need to buy to make sure it matches your phone. Color fade. Sometimes it can be difficult to match your phone's color because the color will most likely have faded with age. A good example is the color "Aqua Blue", a sort of baby blue color. Most of these phones now are more of a turquoise color. If you buy a new cord with original color, it may not match your phone exactly. This phenomenon is most apparent with the lighter color phones.About Me: I have been restoring vintage telephones for 25+ years.I am a telephone enthusiast, so quality is my primary concern.I follow through with every sale, I'm here for any questions or concerns you might have after the sale.I'm a member of the Antique Telephone Collectors Association and Telephone collectors International.I've had an eBay presence since 1996.
