Mark,
Thank you for comments. Realise I'd not made it as clear as I thought.
I dont want t  open the HH box, just (hopefully) use the cable I laid from
one room t  another. I hid it behind skirting board, routed it between
floors etc in anticipation of relocating my PC.  Now I've got real reason
to
finish off if possible and terminate it in a pair of plugs at one end and a
pair of sockets at other.. robin
