Jabra GN1216 Coiled Cord Headset Adapter for Avaya 1600/9600 Desk Phones

Jabra GN1216 Coiled Cord Headset Adapter for Avaya 1600/9600 Desk Phones

The Jabra GN1216 Coiled Cord Headset Adapter is a dedicated connection cable that bridges your Jabra headset directly to Avaya 1600 and 9600 series desk phones. No adapters, no EHS boxes, no complicated setups. This coiled 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. The coiled design stretches for comfortable movement and snaps back to keep your desk tidy. It is the simplest, most reliable 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 coiled section stretches from approximately 1 foot to 6 feet, giving you freedom to move while talking, then retracts for a clutter‑free desk. The cord is fully shielded to prevent static and interference. For other professional communication solutions, explore our selection of corded headsets at FindHeadsets.

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 coiled and extends up to 1.8 meters (6 feet) when stretched. 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 – pure plug‑and‑play.

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. The coiled design is a major upgrade over straight cords – it stays out of the way when not in use and gives you room to lean back or stand up during calls. Audio quality is excellent because the connection is direct, without extra signal processing. For call center agents or busy professionals, this cord is reliable, affordable, and easy to install.
