Btw. instead of crimping a telephone cable again and again or replacing it by a new cable, I removed the RJ jack and soldered the cable to the telephone. RJ as well as TAE jacks and sockets are a PITA for usage with gear that gets moved. I never had an issue with RJ jacks and sockets for LAN, since I don't walk around with my PC, router etc., but I do with my wired telephones. I know, wired telephones are weird ;).
