[QUOTE="UNG, post: 495261, member: 8931"] I agree the new style connector is not the best to work with until you have fitted a few them If the cable isn't properly and fully inserted into the carrier before folding it down into the IDC connector then you can get problems although you can see if the cable is terminated correctly through the plastic carrier I'm assuming you replaced the faceplate on the NTE5C before checking for a signal at the secondary socket Not sure why you are inserting anything other than the correct cable or an IDC tool into the IDC terminals, anything else tends to cause connectivity issues / terminal failure either in the short or long term it's better to use the proper test blocks [URL="https://cpc.farnell.com/chesivale-electronics/m0008-00a-b/modular-adaptor-bt-631a-type/dp/IN01148?st=bt%20adaptors"]https://cpc.farnell.com/chesivale-electronics/m0008-00a-b/modular-adaptor-bt-631a-type/dp/IN01148?st=bt adaptors[/URL] or an engineers butt phone Unless any extension equipment requires the ringing circuit on terminal 3 to be connected I would leave it unused as it can affect broadband bandwidth due to the line interference it can cause [/QUOTE]
