Hi,
I am in the process of wiring two sockets, on opposite sides of the same wall, with the sockets directly behind each other. Just to be clear, this would mean that the wires are connected to socket 1 and then the cable goes from the middle of the backbox, straight through the wall to the middle of the other backbox and then those wires connected to socket 2.
This feels wrong, because the cable would not be secured, and so when working on socket 2 I would be tugging on the wiring in socket 1.
What is the proper way to do this please? Should I offset the sockets, or is there a way to reliably secure the cable, so that movement in one socket doesn't affect the other?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
