Hi,
I've read the other posts on this topic so please - no links.
I have my phones wired in the correct colour coding of B/w-2, W/b-5, O/w-3 (for extensions) but I think the numpty who owned house before me has been tampering as the junction box outside is linked to a loft junction box by unmarked heavy guage bell wire rather than any form of colour coded wire! Haven't been in the outside box but that bell wire would never go in a 3m gel splice and I'm sure Mr. BT Engineer would never use chocolate block etc.
I have -54.5v to earth at 5 in the master then strangely have -3.4v to earth at 2 (I thought this should be 0).
Also I thought the -54.5v should go to 2 (B in a linebox)
If it were an NTE 5 linebox am I right that A=5 (W/b or solid White) & B=2 (B/w or solid Orange)
Have looked at 4 websites and seen 4 different versions of colours/numbers/letters and apart from the obvious 2=B/w & 5=W/b don't know what to believe.
I know the system should work either way round but would prefer it to be right.
Any help would be great.
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks
