extending a telephone point

Nope. Late 70's early 80's.

When open wires served insulator "pots" on the corner or whatever of your premises, the feed from there to the "protectors, heat coil and fuse" within the house was more conventional 1pr/12½lb tinned copper wire - still figure-of-eight configuration, but much more compliable (is that a real word?!).

In much earlier days, the insulator pots could be very high on a building, in which case special insulators were used with side "knobs" to re-route the open wires down the side of the building to near the entry point.

I've never actually significantly worked on such stuff - almost all my GPO experience was on internal and transmission gear, but we were well informed in those days!

I think they *are* the 'One_for_all' versions aren't they?

So are they quiet, no mains hum / other noise etc ..?

I wonder how well they would (or wouldn't) work with a pair of mains LAN extenders?

All the best ..
