Extend Inverter Remote with Phone Cord?
Merry Xmas everyone. So the question is if the inverter remote on/off is on one of those phone line looking cords with the same sort of jack but is too short, how can you add phone line to make it lo...

Thanks for the info! Based on that, I checked the actual jacks on my two remotes.
My Vector 2000w inverter has a wider sort of jack on the end of its remote's wire with 8 copper bars, but only the 4 middle ones have actual wires going to them (see-through plastic jack) This is the remote I want to extend.
My Xantrex 1000w inverter remote has a "normal" width jack with 6 copper bars and all 6 have wires to them.
I have a collection of phone wires and connectors. Some connectors have 2 copper bars and others have 4. Some of the "2s" are normal width and some are narrower for those phones that have handsets on their own wires.
With that wide jack on the Vector but 4 wires, it looks like I will have to cut the remote's wires and "insert" a 4-wire extension with the jacks cut off each end, being sure to connect the right wires to each other?
