Hi - hope someone can help. I've got a rather odd BT set up. I want to move some of the cables and sockets, but I'm nervous about getting it wrong or doing something BT won't approve of.
The BT line enters my flat next to my front door and goes straight into a small rectangular white junction box with no sockets. This box is about the size of a matchbox and has no obvious electrical components inside (eg no capacitors). It contains two small plastic connectors each of which has three blue/white wires inserted into it, making six in all (presumably two in and four out). It has the BT 'piper' logo on the front.
Two cables emerge from that box and each of these ends up at a larger box about 60mm x 60mm. They both have sockets, both contain capacitors, and both have BT logos (one with the old 'T' symbol, the other with the 'piper'). Inside they are both wired only with the blue/white wires into sockets 2 and 5.
At the moment this arrangement all works fine, including with microfilters, broadband, etc.
Can anyone explain what's going on here and whether this is all correctly wired up? Do I effectively have two master sockets, and is this a problem?
