For the last 10 years I've had a very thin BT extension cable running underneath my carpet as the BT Master Socket enters the house in the opposite corner to where my phone and router are placed
As I have now ordered Fibre broadband I thought it about time I replaced the very thin cable with something more suitable to run around the skirting board/doors so I purchased some genuine BT cable, BT socket and BT plugs
The cable is BT CW1308 4 Core, the socket a BT spec 2/3A IDC slave box and the plugs are BT spec 4 pin 431A's
The genuine BT cable I have is coloured Blue, Brown, Green and Orange
Seriously it was a complete nightmare to find a definitive answer as to how the socket/plug should be wired with this coloured cable as there seems to be many colour combinations available for BT cable
The seller of the items was not much help to be honest
I worked through everything I could find on the net and finally worked it out, what a complete minefield it was
But finally I have a working phone and router ready for my Fibre
