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 long enough?

I have read here that the wires in the remote's line are reversed from phone ones. ? You can buy end to end connectors for phone line but how can you use those for this? Or what?

Thanks.

  • It would not make any difference if you use the complete cord where the wires are or what colors they would be. As long and the say left one ends up as the left one on the other end. My unit used a 6 pin cord, does yours or is it a 4 pin.I had a hard time getting a 6 pin cord and a retired AT&T guy made 1 for me.
  • Yes you can
    If worried about reversed wires, buy a coupler used for connecting two cords together
    Use the OEM cord along with the extension
    Phone cords are wired, straight through, inverter cords should be the same
    Reversed aka swapped wires are used in rsc233 serial connections, not normal handset cords
