Can somebody help with following please.  I want to run a phone
extension from
a socket on ground floor to my study two floors up (in roof).  The route
is a pain but
over last few months as I've been lifting boards etc I gradually fed a
cable thru, but
there are no terminators on it.  The cable is what was left after my
home highway was
installed. so I think it has 8 cores. (Brown,Orange, Blue and Green,
plus 4 white with
coloured tracers).

I have a couple of sockets, but they have numbered terminals 1 thru 6.

I bought a pack of plugs that crimp on the end with pliers and a
small metal die, but
this takes 4 cores. With the spring on the left and the copper(?)
contacts visible above
which do I connect to what, assuming I number the connectors in the plug
1 thru 4 with
4 closest to the spring on the side?

Thanks for any help in advance, regards, robin
