Handset Curly Cords

If there is one important piece of equipment you are likely to take for granted in your telephone system it is the cord that connects the phone handset to the base and receiver in corded telephones. A lot of the focus is on the actual phone hardware rather than the cables that connect each component together. This is fair enough, to an extent, as the hardware is ultimately going to be more expensive than the cables.

However, when you consider that your phone connection and the quality of the connection and call sound is highly dependant on the quality of the cord connecting the receiver to the handset, it’s not hard to see that we are not overreacting or overstating its importance.

Have you ever considered, for instance, why handset cords are designed the way they are, with those tight curls? If you haven’t, we don’t blame you and know you already have enough to deal with in life other than worrying about things like that. However, if you indulge us for a moment, understanding why they are designed the way they are goes a long way to emphasising why they are so important and why you should not take them for granted.

It wasn’t designed to help with the electrical current or to improve the quality of your calls, nor was it designed that way so you have onboard entertainment so that you have something to fiddle and fidget with when your call is held for long periods or while you talk to your best friend about the latest goss. Rather the curly design is all about convenience and flexibility.

With the curly design, even the shortest of the handset to receiver cables offers a degree of convenience and flexibility. It means you don’t need to be necessarily sat right beside the base or the receiver unit when making a call. The curls help when it comes to replacing the handset, as the cable retains its shape. If it wasn’t designed with curls, you may end up with kinked and easily damaged cables or a tangled mess of cables.

Although much of the above is common sense really, it helps to underline the important role these seemingly insignificant parts of telephones, play. This, in turn, underlines the importance of making the right decision when it comes to replacing your curly handset cord.

The above leads us nicely onto the buying guide we wanted to provide to help you when choosing the right curly cord from our extensive selection of products.

Although there are many products where the brand is not very important and that it is just based on personal preference and taste, with telephony accessories like curly handset cords, this is not always true. The brand can be immensely important for several reasons.

First and foremost, it is always best to choose a curly handset cord that is made by the same brand as your phone. They are specially designed to work together, so you are likely to have the best experience. It may also be important, if you are concerned about maintaining the warranty, that you only use the same brand accessories with your phone, or you could invalidate the warranty.

Even if you don’t choose a curly handset cord by the same brand as your phone, you should always look to buy one by a brand your budget allows, because brands generally mean quality. There will always be exceptions to the rules, but more often than not, a curly handset cord designed and manufactured by a well-kn0own brand, rather than a third-party supplier or cheaper manufacturer, will be made to a much higher quality.

Another consideration you need to make when choosing a curly handset cord is the price.
