RJ-11

RJ-14 and RJ-16
RJ-11 jacks can hold six wires, but jacks and cables typically have four, which accommodates two-line phones (red-green and yellow-black wire pairs). When two lines are used, the jack is technically an RJ-14. When all six wires are used for three telephone lines, the jack is an RJ-25.
