Probably not land lines / POTS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_old_telephone_service
such would generally be RJ11, RJ14, or RJ25,
6P and respectively 2C, 4C, or 6C
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_jack
More likely Ethernet and RJ45 8P8C
though 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX require only two pairs,
1000BASE-T requires all four pairs.
There's a significant difference in connectors, notably 6P vs. 8P
and they're not physically compatible with each other and won't even
physically fit each others plugs/jacks.

Why of course once per year for each hurricane season, they must use:
sort -fu
to get all the hurricanes to arrive in the proper order.  :-)
