Update!!!! Firstly, thank you to all those helpful contributors. I have looked into the black cable that I have, sadly I don't have the reel. It is a flat black sheeth with four wires which are coloured as discussed earlier. These are stranded wires and simply wouldn't stay in the connectors at...

Hi all, I will get some more pics and I do still have the cable reel so I will take a pic of that also. I am on fibre broadband (sky) and would say it's around 20mb I think. This is definitely the master socket and at the top of the socket there is like a plate where two wires are screwed in...
