Telephone Socket wiring

[caatah]

Hi there,

We've just had a painter round, and to make space for his brush he was nice enough to disconnect our phone socket and leave without re-assembling. Could someone advise us where these cables should go?

Pic 1 is cable and Pic 2 is socket.

Thanks in advance!

It is a connection block, not a socket

Puttimg the OR/wt ( orange with white bands ) in the same terminal as the Orange, like wise putting green with green and putting blue with blue has a high probabilty of getting the phone connected. You will need the punch down tool to ensure a good connection when the wires are pressed into the terminals.

The old cable is blue orange green brown.

So I would opt for

Blue 2 Blue/White
Orange 5 White/Blue
Green 3 Orange/White
Brown 4 White/Orange (or unused).

I agree IF the WT/be and WT/or wires are not cut back as if not previously used.

Hey guys, got it working.

Matched them up as berbardgreen mentioned in the first post, but didn't work initially. tried them in different terminals and got it working, maybe by luck!

guessing one of the terminals was damaged.

thanks for your help!
