hi there, sorry if posting in the wrong section


rewiring this house, been asked to put 3 phone points in the house.

now do i run a cat5 cable to each from point of entry point or do i link them.

I know few of you will laugh lol


thanks
 
link them all together

Master -> Slave 1 -> Slave 2 -> Slave 3

connect the cable in number 2 and number 5

usually white/blue and blue/white

don't mix the colours

^^^Perfect^^^


The incoming "slave" will have blue/white at term 2 and white/blue at term 5. Just connect that to your extension points as if your doing a radial socket circuit without a cpc wire.
 
i would have added the colour against the number but i couldn't be 100% and i had a small child bashing me with a empty​ bottle of milk


Its only because I did one the other week. I dont have a small child hitting me with an empty bottle atm but I do have a wife telling me to get off this forum lol. I think she has some needs? Now is it terminal 1 or 2? She will tell me when I try pmsl :rofl:
 
Do you need a ''master'' these days?? I ask, because shortly before i left Cyprus to work over here, i had connection problems with my computers broadband. The telephone company came out after contacting my provider there. After a bit of testing and what have you, they went to the master outlet snipped two wires out, the capacitor, and a couple of other bits, and away they went!! lol!! No need for master outlets anymore on our modern telephone system was the reply, when asked what happens if i no longer want a broadband connection!!
 
Unless something has suddenly change, masters (with cap, resistor and inductor) are installed on the incoming cable usually blue/white stripe and white/blue stripe. if using all masters the you can connect just 2 & 5, masters to slave are 2, 5, and 3.
If 3 is not connected to slaves then the phones will not ring on the slave outlets

Well everything worked perfectly after they left, broadband and telephones!! Which i why i asked the question in the first place!!

They definitely will ring on just 2 & 5
