Enclosure for 2 gel filled phone wire connectors

Use plenty of self amalgamating tape. Make sure you start the tape away from any risk of silicone contamination from the connectors. apply with clean hands too. Even one molecule of silicone can seemingly cause trouble!

The joints I used to use for amateur radio connectors have survived decades, although it's a messy pain to do; wrap the joint in self-amalgamating tape, then in PVC insulating tape, then slather it well in car underseal. I've had these survive over 20 years in the open.

Is this technically BT's wiring ie before the NTE or your own?

If yours, solder, insulating sleeve on each joint, double layer, half width overlapped self amalgamting tape extended over an inch onto the outer cable insulation.

If BT's wiring, it needs to "look right" the above doesn't... I don't think BT routinely use "jelly beans" outside of large multipair cable joint boxes or street cabinets. I think they would use a Block Terminal

Jelly beans inside that wouldn't be too odd but the terminals would normally be used, it's also the only small externally rated box that BT are likely to use.

they certainly used "jelly beans" when they replaced the overhead wire to my house after the 1987 storm. They are still there.

They took a cable to the Grey BT Box and connected into the cable that comes into the house in there. I want to bypass the BT box and wire directly to the Brown Virgin Box. (Obviously Virgin disconnected the incoming BT feed.)
