RE: Help with phone wiring!

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Justin,

You should really be using a Secondary adaptor. It doesnt have a capacitor
in it as that is already in the master.

Its possible you have a reversal in the A & B wires. That would cause
the
capacitor in the adaptor to be connected to the wrong wire. It would also
mean you had 2 capacitors in series across the line which would seriously
shunt all audio leading to faint and echoey transmission.

The colours for the patch panel should follow the normal BT wiring colours
eg, BLUE/White (2) WHITE/Blue (5) ORANGE/White (3), numbers refer to BT
socket. The colours go on the patch panel in the normal CAT5 sequence.

Hope that helps

Keith
