All,
A fairly lengthy explanation, so please bear with me :-)
I've recently had some building work done in my hall which necessitated me to move my phone block terminal (referring to
Anyway, there was a socket immediately following the block terminal which I have discarded as it was is a bad state. I've subsequently wired up my extensions to the junction box, using standard (slave?) phone sockets.
I don't know much about phone wiring, but it's just come to my attention that this may have been a master socket, however my phone still works - would this work if there was no termination resistor & capacitor?
I'd like to replace the block terminal as the contacts are corroded and the box is really shabby, what could I replace this with (I don't need a socket there)? The box has 3 wires going in - one is my extension, one is twin bell wire and the other is 3 core which I think goes to some old sockets upstairs.
I've read that the wiring up to the master socket belongs to BT, but have I already violated this by discarding the socket?
Thanks in advance,
Ant Harris
