Cord Buying Guide:

I know, buying a cord isn\'t exactly rocket science, but there\'sa 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 connecteddirectly to terminals inside the phone. Modular are the cords with thelittle square clear plastic clips that allow you to disconnect the cord withease.
Handset Cord Lengths. This is where the most confusion and misunderstandingshappen. The length of a handset cord is a measure of the actual materialused to make the cord. In other words, an 8 foot cord is made from 8 feet ofcord, but once coiled up is only going to be about 12 inches or so. A 12foot cord is around 18 inches and a 25 foot cord is around 36 inches.
Color. Most phones out there conform to the standard colorpalette of Western Electric phones with a few exceptions. For example,Automatic Electric\'s green (Jade Green) is different from Western Electric\'sgreen (Moss Green). The biggest variation comes into play with red. WesternElectric\'s red is a dark red whereas most other phone companies used abright red. If you\'re not sure, consult with the seller on what color youneed to buy to make sure it matches your phone.
Color fade. Sometimes it can be difficult to match your phone\'scolor because the color will most likely have faded with age. A good exampleis the color \"Aqua Blue\", a sort of baby blue color. Most of these phonesnow are more of a turquoise color. If you buy a new cord with originalcolor, it may not match your phone exactly. This phenomenon is most apparentwith the lighter color phones.
