hi
a friend of mine tripped over his phone line today, ripping the wires out the back of the white box on the wall (and ripping the box off the wall at the same time). so, as he can't access the internet at the moment, i'll ask his 3 questions
1. Can someone point me in the direction of a diagram to show me which wires go where?
2. What tool do I need for this? I know the sort of thing i need, but i describe it as a 'pushing down thingy'.
3. How much would ntl charge to come out and fix it if i can't?
ta muchly

Blue with white bands goes to 2
white/green and white/orange are not connected.
Pushy in tool should be from anywhere that sells phone cable extensions, along with cable clips to stop the wire being tripped over
Price for NTL to do it, not sure
Have fun!:)
Does anybody know the impedance of the co-ax that goes into the back of my STB. I want to move it to another room and need some new cable. I'm guessing its 75 ohms but thought I'd check?
Thanks
To do so may also change the optimum signal strength slightly,as the level was set up with a meter when the STB was installed.
Blue to 2 (or B if it's a master socket)
Blue and White to 5 (or A)
Orange to 3 (if it's an extension)
The pushy in tool is called a KRONE tool and they cost about £20,
The best thing to do is contact ntl, if you tripped over the cable it means it wasn't fitted to the correct standards (FSG) i.e. the cabling should be secured in all places at spacings of no more than 300mm with the termination socket within 2m of the operating equipment. NTL Should correct this FREE OF CHARGE.
As for the 75ohm cabling question, if you do move it be sure to use only copper plated aluminium, foam dialetric cable or you wont get a return path.
you can put your wires back into socket with a thin headed screwdriver just make sure the wires go all the way down.
Call out charges are down to the descrestion of the technician who attends the call, and seeing that it sounds like a quick two minute job to rectifie this problem i cannot see any of the derby techs charging for this.
