Something to do with a second line...me thinks.
A phone only uses a single pair of copper...
Won't make a difference, either way.

It won't hurt to have it. Two or four will work. A normal phone requires just 2. I know it is not for a second line because that would require a new cable from telephone closet.

The phone cable is designed for use with a two line system when using analog. The red and green wires are for line one and the black and yellow are for line 2. You need a special phone to support this feature. I have two. One is made by Nortel and the other is a generic phone we picked up at a yard sale. Both phones require a four line cord to operate both lines.

Thanks...RR...
What I thought...too....but, wasn't 100%.
So...in other words...dial up over the cord makes no difference, 4 or 2 copper strings...

Correct. Most phones only require a single pair of copper.
All of my digital phones at work use two of eight wires. All eight wires are ran to the phone.

Those 8-wire cables are just like cat5e cables (RJ-45)

The eight wires cables in our case are CAT3 if they were installed before my co-worker and I got here. They are CAT5e since we have been here. We can actually use six wires per phone if we wanted, but four would simply be in the jack doing nothing.
I remember when digital phones used multiple pairs of wires.
