Adding sockets to a ring
- Thread starter gyeulet

It is said that JBs must be accessible. Because, amongst their other sins, the create a weak link in a ring.
But when extending a ring the alternative (apart from relaying an entire length of cable) is to extend from a socket.
Isn't the socket then a weak link in the same ways as a JB is.
I guess it is down to the fact that they are both weak links that when needing to be tested must be accessible. In the case of sockets they are definitely accessible whereas JB give the option of being hidden away under floorboards.
I've got loads of JBs stuffed away in inaccessible places because there was no alternative.
But then I am amature.
