You will notice that there are only two voltage settings which is fine since most phones have a regulator and will work with a wide variety of input voltages. To comply with the NEC you have to run the phone wire outside of the box in the wall so that it maintains separation from the high voltage cable.
It will NOT get power from the phone line to power your cordless phone. That said it is an excellent way to get the DC power wall wart out of sight.Ordered with Amazon prime, received two days later.
First of all, this is NOT a drop in replacement for a phone jack. You need a full outlet box not just a low voltage frame since you will be running 120v into the box.
Started on the install immediately and took about 2 hours including fishing wire through the walls. Had to take out the old phone jack that came with the house, but luckily it came with an approved outlet box.
If you didn't just understand what I said, I suggest you hire an electrician. Just follow the manual.The power plugs are Radioshack style so if none of the included ones work, just take the phone to a Radioshack store and buy an adaptaplug that fits.It is a very nice addition to my kitchen and adds style and decor by hiding the ugly wires and wall wart.
WRONG. I purchased this product to remove the plug for my cordless phone on the kitchen counter. Based on every description I read, I thought this used the power from the phone line to power the cordless phone. It needs 110 VAC AND a phone line run to the same electrical box. So a retrofit is not an option, unless you are willing to rip into your drywall.It is a great idea, but advertising should be much clearer that it is for new construction or remodelling only, not for use with existing installations.
This product works exactly as advertised and it gets rid of all that ugly clutter of power supply cords.I do have one complaint and that's about the power cord adapters they provide to power your phone. Since I'm a gear head, it was no big deal, I just cut the power cord they provide and spliced in the original Panasonic plug and it worked perfectly. I have Panasonic phones and none of the adapters they provide fit my phone. They LOOK like they do but they don't supply power. So that's why I didn't give it the 5 stars it deserves. It's not plug and play in my experience.This must be costing them since I returned the first unit as defective and just persevered with the second one until I found out the problem.As they say, your results may differ.
