I just ran a new phone line from the outside box to my room with cat5 cable, and am getting extreme static on the line ( a 1.5 decibal rating). I've hooked up a 1-foot line directly from the box to my phone, and got the same amount of static, so i know it's not interference with household appliances. This is my first 'do-it-yourself' wiring job, and I have no idea what to try to fix the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
