Hello!
I bought a phone splitter (pic related) and find that the connections are flimsy and require a specific and delicate angle to be held in order to work.

Is there any way to strenghten the bond between this splitter, and the phone connectors I clip into it?

Tape?

Bend pins in splitter up. Used that one for dozens of stores

Best solution is to get all new phone wires and good quality equipment. Start clean with a fresh install of new wires. That would be the best option.

flimsy connection means the socket or the plug is broken, or crimped badly, the correct answer is to replace broken parts or re do the connection, taping is just nigger tier

this

they're not making contact because they're too far bent down

use a paperclip as a hook and bend them

you need to buy or make a proper splitter, using brand name devices, then dump your dollar-store crap coz it'll never work right.

if you have some old units around, you can use an eraser to clean off the oxidation. cut the eraser in half lengthwise so it fits inside. will also work for cleaning ethernet jacks.

Will try, thanks. I feared breaking the pins but at the price I paid, whatever.

The phone wires are new, as well as the splitter. It's just a bit loose in there.

The plug isn't broken. It is just a bit loose. The RJ11 crimp fits inside like in a glove. A glove that's 5% too big.

I can't solder for shit that's why I bought this splitter. You're right that I didn't pay much for it, though judging from ebay and amazon even the more expensive options are just the same chinese crap sold at a higher price.
