The following advice is at your own risk, as everything upto the existing master socket is BT's / Open Reaches property. Changing their configuration is done at your own risk and in no way do I endorse anyone interfering with their equipment.
The following advice is given a theoretical exercise in how you could extend the cabling of a BT Master Socket without incurring an engineer call out charge.
---------------------------------------------------
On your new BT master socket, Remove the faceplate, then remove the plate that has the master socket in it, there will be A&B terminals. Connect a pair of the new CAT 5e cable to these terminals (remember which colour went to which). Reassemble your master socket plate and new face-plate
Disconnect the Original BT Master Socket face plate and remove the plate containing the single master socket, you need to unscrew or remove the A&B wires (remember which colour went to which terminal) of the BT Drop cable (dont let them touch).
Using Jelly Crimps (grease filled crimps) connect the other end of your Cat 5e cable, remember which colours you used previously, to the two wires of the drop cable.
Job done. Leave the Original BT master socket in-situ as you will need to re-instate it if you move or have problems. |
