Ray,

A reply from our talented Tech Dept:

For wired cameras, anything that extends a
standard (6 wire) telephone cord should
work. E.G. a "6 wire in-line coupler" that
lets you join two phone cords together. You
can use the coupler to connect a 6 wire
telephone cord to the camera cord.

6 wire in-line coupler (cat. no. 279-423):

Or you could use a 6 wire cord with an RJ11
PLUG on one end and an RJ11 SOCKET on the
other end, such at cat. no. 279-363
