Hello.

I was wondering if anyone has actually tried the CAT 5 cable to connect the power wall module to the conference phone itself?

When I asked the tech support as Polycom, he was like " oh, maybe it will work, give it a try" So apparently even they are not sure.

The part is $30 just for the cable which is quite pricy considering its just a cable. 2457-0049-001

Just wondering if anyone here has first hand experience with trying the cat 5 cable?

Thanks

Maybe you could read the reply from your last post...

Still no answer......

If I am buying a used conference phone from an out of business sale, I still don't know if I will need to spend another $40 separately on a specialized cable of I can use a CAT 5 cable laying around.

I guess no one has ever actually tried one before on a real conference phone before?

Personally, I'd buy the proper cable. Why risk blowing the phone itself, because one is too cheap to do it properly?

Like dave said its cheap enough why take a chance buy the cable do a pinout then you will know

you also don't know if the used unit works so why through one more variable in the mix

Like I posted in his other thread, I looked at a Polycom cable at work and it's an 8 conductor straight through cable.
