I'm trying to add a new phone point in our lounge. I've bought some four core cable to daisychain from the existing point and following instructions attached the wires to both points using the correct insertion tool. The new point doesn't work.
One thing I do find unusual about the existing wires in the first point (having read that cable should either be 6 core or 4 core) is there are 10 wires and they were wired as follows:
The two green and white wires were fixed in other slots and not 1 and 6 so I moved those.
Slot 2 has a blue wire
Slot 5 has an orange wire (the blue and white wires you'd expect in these slots are unused crammed into the box).
Slot 3 has a brown wire and the orange with white ring wire.
Slot 4 has a green wire and the white with orange ring wire.
What's happening here then, does this sound right? Any suggestions for where I might be going wrong? Btw the existing point works fine.
