Here is my current setup:
I wanted to raise an electric socket but the cables were too short, so I replaced the socket with a junction box within the ring circuit and from the JB, I created a spur to the socket.
Now I would like to add an extra socket nearby. Since the JB already has a spur, I can't run a second spur from it. But what if I connect a second cable from the JB to the existing socket? Then the socket is no longer a spur but part of the ring circuit. The JB merely acts as a point of connection for the extension of the cables. Am I correct?
So with this new setup, the JB no longer has a spur from it, meaning I can now connect one for the extra socket nearby I want?
BTW, the JB is in an easily accessible place, so would be ideal to run all connections from it.
If what I suggested above is wrong, could you suggest another way to use the JB to add an extra electrical socket?
