well wire as you would a 2way, then an intermediate switch simply has the two strappers into either side, and when switched crosses them over. If you are wiring 3 plate, you will need to put the commons in a connector.

Have a look at this



Dont forget to join the common in the int switch.

looks loike how i always do it. switch wire from light to nearest sw. 3core through int,sw. to 2nd 2way sw. break strappers at int. sw. block common link.

hope this helps, ignore the light connections if you want, the switch drop wiring is always the same remember your brown sleeving.

Agree with above, just like a two way just watch out for terminals in the switch because some of them connect top and bottom and some connect into the sides. A good tip is to use a continuity tester to define which is which.

These buggers always catch me out. I suppose its due to being a lazy t*** and not con checking them.
