Hi,
Please could I ask whether it is possible to wire two telephone extensions from a single master socket, or would the extensions require to be daisy-chained?
Many thanks.

I have two extension sockets which are not daisy chained.

Thanks for that Michael.
I don't suppose you remember how the master socket is wired to do this?

Just double up the wires into the 2 & 5 connectors on back of face plate: Pin Colour Use
1 Not used
2 Blue/white "B" Wire
3 Orange/white Ring wire
4 White/orange Used for completeness or as earth in PABX systems.
5 White/Blue "A" wire
6 Not used

Right, I see!
Many thanks for the info and the link - appreciated.

Just to add: Normal IDC connectors are only designed to have two wires inserted. Putting a third in can result in strains on the connector and the blades being pushed apart possibly resulting in a bad or failed contact.

Ok - thanks for the heads up.
I guess that means... 1 extension = best, 2 extensions = passable, 3 extensions = no?

1 - fine
2 - fine
3 - no
There is no reason why you cannot daisy chain extension 3 off one of the others though ...

Brill - thank you for the advice and explanation!

Ideally you get an IDC/Krone tool for a quid or so to insert the wires. ADSL Nation, Maplin, B & Q and others. Do not strip the inner insulation off the actual wires - only the outer of the cable.

Thanks for the heads up. The socket in question is at my parents' house, so not messing it up would be nice.
I just need to pick a filtered faceplate now, and then a socket stuffed with adapters and filters will be no more.

Re the insulation, you use the tool to push the wire down between the jaws of the IDC connector, and the jaws cut through the insulation and contact the wire. That's why it is important not to damage the connectors, and why there is a limit on how many wires to insert  .

Riiight... I didn't realise that, thanks.
I'll admit, I would have probably just taken the insulation off, so thank you.
