Telephone cable (2 pair).
4 core cable for phone extension wiring.
This is what you need to wire phone extensions in your house.
Normally pins 1 and 6 in phone sockets are not used, so this 4 core cable is ideal.
Sold per metre, buy as much as you like (up to 100m) and get it all in one big length.
BT engineers connect the colours as follows (though DIY engineers may wire sockets differently) :
- Pin 1 - Not connected
- Pin 2 - Blue with white rings (very old cable used to be solid blue colour)
- Pin 3 - Orange with white rings (very old cable used to be solid brown colour)
- Pin 4 - White with orange rings (very old cable used to be solid green colour)
- Pin 5 - White with blue rings (very old cable used to be solid orange colour)
- Pin 6 - Not connected
