It depends on the phone cabling in your house.
Most times, you will only be dealing with the Red and
Green wires. But, if you reach inside your wall and
come up with a bundle of wires, you would use the Blue
and Blue w/white stripes. Do NOT cut these wires as
they continue to other locations. Strip and wrap!
