thats whats usally used for alarms , like bobg says it has a shorting bar so if you unplug the alarm you dont lose dialtone.
simplest thing is to buy one from a alram supply I put in a couple here last month and I beleive they were 2.50 each
wiring diagrams are molded right into the covers.
re reading your post I see your saying its a dedicated line in that case I beleive you can just use a standard 8 conductor biskit jack without the shorting pins

best to just buy a rj38x jack should be able to get them from a alarm supply company like ADI
I needed to run some RJ31x a few weeks ago and graybar didnt stock the jacks but had to order them in .
I got them from a local alarm Distributor for about 2.50 each. Radio shack may evan have them you could check with them

RE: RJ38X
The purpose of the RJ-31X is two-fold. First, it is designed to disconnect everything downstream from the panel (i.e. all the phones in the house/business) so that the burglar can't interupt the phone call. Second, they allow the panel to take over in the event of an emergency and interupt communications on that line. The panel will sieze the line, draw a new dial tone, and call the alarm monitoring center even if the line was in use for a voice call.
Now newer panels will monitor the voltage on the phone line input. Most are programmable for how long you want to have it wait before reporting the line as not present. Generally we set those to 15 minutes or so. Then you have the choice to make the system go into trouble or alarm. Normally we choose trouble. So, if you were rebuilding the NID or splicing or something and took dialtone away for over 15 minutes, the panel would beep inside indicating a loss of phone line. Often the telco's i deal with will take a line down for several minutes for testing/splicing, etc. Of course, if the crook cuts the line before the NID and then breaks in, it won't be able to call the police. You are dependant on a local siren alarm to get attention from the neighbors, or a back up cellular phone connnected to the panel.
Hope that helps.
It is only my opinion, based on my experience and education...I am always willing to learn, educate me!
