[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 495229, member: 6969"] The problem was no signal at the remote socket. I had the correct colours in terminals 2,3 and 5 of the "output" connector. you push the wires in then fold it down and it is supposed to make contact by IDC connections. But no signal at the slave socket. I took the wires out, belled them through end to end, and they are fine, no breaks. they are connected into the correct terminals at the slave. Re terminated at the master and still no signal at the slave. My gripe is the design of the teminals now means you cannot get a test probe of a volt meter anywhere to see if there is any signal. My assumption is the IDC connectors are not connecting. With the old style NTE5 you can push the cables down into the IDC connectors and check with a volt meter that you really are getting a signal out of the thing. Read the small print. BT's obligation is to provide a connection at your master socket. Any slave wiring is not their responsibility. If they come back to fix it, their hourly rate is a lot more than mine. [/QUOTE]
