I have a tricky place to run a cat3 cable to and wondered if those wireless jacks that you use for regular phones also worked with norstar phones? i have a feeling not because the voltage of the norstar might be higher but i would like to know so i can stop thinking about it. thanks

Wireless phone jacks with Norstar

i would stop thinking about it and get to running that cable or just call the cable grunt boy to get to work...
I don't think so. Norstar terminals use a proprietary digital signal that powers the terminals at 24VDC. The wireless signal will not be able to power that 24VDC properly; it might try to power it like a normal phone, which could blow the terminal. So, you can run a cat3 or cat5, or look at a T7406/T7406E setup. The T7406 series emulates a M7310 terminal.
