Damaging Phone or Electrical Lines

Telephone lines run through copper or aluminum wires that are attached to utility poles above ground that extend to a transmission box. Modern telephone lines run underground but still extend to a transmission box. The transmission box is connected by a pair of cables that run into the phone or business through a junction box that is wired to a telephone jax that connects telephones from the wall.

Utility lines are mounted on utility poles overhead, the wire is extended from the poles by cables into elevated ground transformers that lead the wires to switch boxes that are sealed and encased. From the switch boxes the utility lines run underground and are connected to an underground or above ground transformer that can charge the voltage needs of electricity for residential and commercial consumers.

Electrical lines are the connecting lines that ensure a continuous charge of electricity to either telephone or utility lines to supply electrical currents into phones and other appliances.
