I want to install somewhere between 10 to 20 extensions in my home, garden shed &c. I am taking the feed off the BT master socket to a single control zone with extensions being distributed from there. I will probably use a telephone extension booster from Maplin. The extensions will be used for telephone, broadband and Sky although probably only a maximum of 5 would be in use at any one time.
Can anyone suggest a junction box to take all these extensions in parallel?

For the cost of the booster, the cable, junction boxes (probably sold by Maplin), cable clips or staples, extension sockets, screws, wall plugs, telephones, and extra ADSL microfilters, you could buy a decent wireless router and a set of cordless phones and base units. And it would be MUCH less work to install.

Is there any particular reason you want to hard-wire all of this?
 
Thanks for your reply
Well - the wiring and outlet sockets are all there and I do already have a Sky wireless router. The area of distribution is large and the broadband signal does not always cover this - wired always works. Also I need a wired system for Sky.

You really don't want the ADSL going through all this extension wiring it will play havoc on the performance. I would suggest you fit a filtered socket and run your extensions in such a way that most are phone only connected to the filtered output on the socket and the minimum would be connected to the unfiltered signal.

Make sure you use a twisted pair phone cable such as CW1308 or CAT5.
