phone cord
Handset's coiled connection
A phone cord is the coiled or straight cable connecting a telephone handset to its base, or connecting the base to a wall jack.
The classic coiled cord stretches to allow movement while talking: She paced the kitchen, twisting the phone cord around her finger.
Largely obsolete with cordless and mobile phones, though still found in offices and older homes.
