Face Plate Wiring

[Isitme]

For those interested for me the correct wire combination was as follows.

Orange/white to pin 5
White/blue to pin 2

You are using a split pair, which is not recommended for good performance. The most commonly used is Blue/white/blue, orange is normally used for the ring wire.

That's interesting, with these colours they must be using a completely different cable.

Certainly are.

Yes I have heard that before. You can see why I had trouble rewiring. However the extension sockets give roughly the same performance as the master socket though always a bit less (but that is to be expected?) of around 10-30 kB/s.

Try using a pair, if the cable is good you should see next to no difference from the test socket...........

Certainly sounds like it!! We got that info a bit late

Is there a CW type designation for this new cable?

They have gone back to the pre-80s colours.

Note sure TBH, not had chance to check. The new wiring scheme is in the latest Openreach NTE5 installation booklet.
