Have to admit i was a bit thrown by the existing wiring, the jackpoint i connected to had blue/white striped in slot 4, with orange/white striped in slot 3 (but as it worked I didn't touch it), just made sure my extension followed the standards |

"Some new cable will use a Blue wire and a White wire with a Blue stripe. If these do not exist or are too short to connect, select the Orange wire and the Black wire (which are normally used for a second line). Some new cable will use an Orange wire and a White wire with an Orange stripe for the second line." If noise is a problem it is slightly better to use a pair that are twisted together ie either the Blue/whiteblue pair or the Orange/whiteorange pair. |
