I have to replace a BT master socket and I'm replacing it with a modular master socket as I'm fitting dado trunking right across where the original master socket is sighted. I know technically I shouldn't be doing this because BT might get a bit aggy but needs must. I'm fully aware of the fact that what I'm doing may be a little naughty so no need to reiterate this, however if you're willing to help then please read on
As you can see in the pictures below the original master socket is wired as it should be with the two incoming cores at terminations 'A' and 'B'. As I'm sure you know the master socket allows for extensions via the IDC connectors on the consumers side. What I can't seem to see is a way to extend from the modular master socket. Would every extension from this master socket need to be a master socket also, surely extending straight from this to a slave would mean that there would be no surge arrester in place? Is it even possible?
Thanks in advance.
