Jabra GN1216 Avaya Connect Cord Connects Avaya 1600/9600 Phones

The Jabra GN1216 Avaya Connect Cord is a specialized connection cable that bridges your Jabra headset (with Quick Disconnect or RJ9) directly to Avaya 1600 and 9600 series desk phones. No adapters, no EHS boxes, no complicated setups. This cord plugs straight into the dedicated headset port on your Avaya phone, giving you clear audio and basic call control without the need for a handset lifter. It is the simplest way to connect your Jabra headset to these popular Avaya models.

How It Works

The GN1216 cord features an RJ9 connector on one end that plugs into the headset port of your Avaya 1600 or 9600 series phone. The other end connects directly to your Jabra headset – either via a Quick Disconnect (QD) interface or a standard RJ9 plug, depending on your headset model. Once connected, the phone automatically routes audio to the headset when you press the headset button on the phone. You can answer, end, and mute calls using the phone’s controls. The cord is designed to carry both incoming and outgoing audio with minimal signal loss. For a complete hands‑free experience, pair this cord with a Jabra headset featuring a noise‑canceling microphone.

Compatibility & Design

This cord is specifically designed for Avaya 1600 series (1608, 1616, etc.) and Avaya 9600 series (9608, 9611, 9621, 9641, etc.) desk phones that have a dedicated RJ9 headset port (usually marked with a headset icon). It is compatible with most Jabra headsets that use a standard RJ9 or Quick Disconnect connection, including:

Jabra Engage 50, 65, 75, 80 series Jabra Pro 920, 930, 940 series

Jabra Evolve 20, 30, 40 series

Jabra Biz 2300, 2400 series

The cord is approximately 1.8 meters (6 feet) long – enough to reach from your phone to your workspace. The RJ9 connectors are gold‑plated for reliable, corrosion‑free signal transfer. The cord jacket is flexible and durable, resisting kinks and tangles. No external power or software is required.

Why Choose This Product

Many Avaya 1600 and 9600 phones do not support electronic hook switch (EHS) control without expensive adapters. The GN1216 cord offers a simple, low‑cost alternative. It gives you a direct wired connection from your headset to the phone’s headset port, so you can use the phone’s built‑in headset button to answer and end calls. It is plug‑and‑play – no configuration, no power supply, no software updates. The audio quality is excellent because the connection is direct, without extra signal processing. For call center agents or busy professionals who need a reliable, no‑fuss headset connection, this cord is the perfect solution. It is also a great spare or replacement if your original cord is lost or damaged.
