Plantronics Telephone Interface Cable
The Plantronics Telephone Interface Cable (reference 86007‑01) is a high‑performance connector that bridges your traditional telephone line to the advanced audio ecosystem of Plantronics headsets and communication devices. Designed with durability, reliability, and seamless integration in mind, this cable ensures crystal‑clear voice transmission while protecting against interference and signal loss.
Key Features
- Universal Compatibility: Works flawlessly with the entire Plantronics CS series (CS500, CS510, CS520, CS530, CS540), Voyager UC & CS lines, Savi series, MDA200/A, and MDA220/A devices.
- Robust Construction: Encased in a reinforced jacket that resists abrasion, moisture, and temperature extremes, guaranteeing long‑term performance even in demanding environments.
- High‑Quality Shielding: Dual‑layer shielding (foil + braided) minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), preserving audio fidelity.
- Standardized Connectors: Male RJ45 on one end for the telephone line, female RJ11 on the other for direct connection to the headset or base unit.
- Easy Installation: Plug‑and‑play design eliminates the need for additional adapters or configuration settings.
