I know someone here has to have an idea of someplace we can get these. Looking for them for the business I work for. We are looking for like 7 foot long (and sometimes longer) analog telephone cables with RJ-11 connectors on them. Need them in red and green colors although if they are available in some sort of other bright colors (besides blue) then that could be acceptable as well. Anyone have a link to some cabling company or somewhere that would sell these? Thanks a LOT!

If you need this very often, it may be very cost effective to buy a spool of wire, some ends and a crimper, all available at Home Depot. Then you could make custom wires of any length needed.

Yeah hehe we do need them often, and we do have some wire and make some cables every now and then, but the don't really have the fit and finish of professionally made cables. Also, the technicians (myself being one of them) that are capable of even making them here are all field service technicians so we aren't always around when they might be needed, so we are looking for them in a prepackaged solution in those colors. That way anyone from our organization can just grab some and throw them in a box or take them with them to install when needed. Thanks for the suggestion though.

ps I did find that Monster Cable makes some in a couple of colors, but of course monster cable is fairly expensive. High quality cable and everything, but a bit more than what we need. Normal phone cords have been what we have been using, but to help make our non-technical customers lives easier we are looking for the colored ones. Surprising how difficult it is to walk someone through following a wire from device A to port B on the wall. hehe oh well.
