How To JOIN or REPAIR A TELEPHONE CABLE 

I am so pleased I found this. I was right in the dog house after cutting the telephone wire instead of a defunct alarm wire. Mrs going crazy cause she can't watch Netflix. Got some Jelly crimps and the crimping tool, fixed in ten minutes. You sir are a legend !

You are my hero! Removed an ‘old cable’ to prep a skirting board for painting and quickly realised it was supplying the broadband 🤦‍♀️ Jelly crimps are the best! Thank you!!

You are adorable! You can come repair my phone line anytime 😁. Thank you for your help.

Wired everything up right but still had no internet, until you mentioned using pliers to push the crimps home. Thank you, that saved me a few bob. 👍🏽

Sir, you just saved my life 🙏🏻 I damaged the cables while cleaning and I was not familiar with the system in the UK. Cool things the jelly crimps.

Just helped me fix my cut line. Watched your video, ordered the crimps and tool and fixed my issue, thank you 👍🏻

Thanks for the video. I didn't have any of the clamps so I just stripped the wires and twisted them together and covered with electric tape. Somehow my internet is stronger now!!

Can you use small wagos, or are they too big in diameter?

You should sell a kit..i would buy it cause I wouldn't have to worry about buy all the wires and box

Thanks!!!

Do you have to have same colours in both wires when joining two cables.

Hi mate don't suppose you can help... In the back of my socket I have blue in a and blue/white in B. Further along these have been joined at a box, but the other cable going back to (I presume) the cabinet, is orange and white cables...

If I have removed an extra phone jack from a bedroom but no longer require it what should I do with the wire ? Leave it in the wall once the face is off ? Or wrap it in electricians tape ?

CAN I USE THE 3-WAY JELLY CRIMPS TO SPLIT MY INCOMING PHONE LINE WIRE - SO I CAN FIT 1 PHONE SOCKET IN MY LIVING ROOM - AND A SECOND PHONE SOCKET IN MY BEDROOM???

Doing some good work out there, thank you

Can i use this to extend the telephone {black cable}, is it enters the House {in UK}? Also, should the Router be plugged into the Master or secondary ~ or does it not matter?? Thanks, Chris

Hi mate. How do we extend a drop down bt cw1415 cable . Its got 1 orange and 4 white. Thanks.

Help so I got main cable coming into the house going to a little junction box two cables one is black one is green going out the other side is blue and orange? Thus cable goes to the main box on the wall ? My main cable is damaged from out side ,so I bought new cable and it's like the cable you got there ,so what colours do I use, as bt can't get to me for 10 days

Good

Simple and effective advice, thanks!

I noticed you didn't strip the individual coloured wires back to the metal before putting them in the jelly crimp, is that not necessary?

Superb video what do you recommend outside use there's a line I need to join 👍

Is the black wire that goes into the box live?

Can I split (divide / share.. I don't know which is more correct!) my incoming phone line into 2 lines, to connect each to a separate router? If yes, how please .. Thanks a lot ....

I have a question regarding my telephone line length being artificially longer (around 10 meters or so) from the intrusion point. I was thinking of having it shortened as I feel it is too long and may affect performance+reliability of my broadband. Do you think a reduction of 5-10 meters of copper length to the telephone master socket would make any difference to broadband performance such as noise margins? If I was 100% certain that my 10 meter length of copper cabling didn't have any negative impact on performance/reliability then I probably wouldn't need to install a new telephone line to have it shorter. I could try and cut it myself manually to reduce the length, but I am worried to do that as I am not a professional and could end up accidentally breaking it unless an Openreach engineer could do it manually. But I don't think they would do this for free hence why I was thinking of a new line to see if there would be noticeable improvement in speeds/reliability. Also I have this BT junction box exactly like in this video. I'm willing to follow this guide, is this junction box necessary? Can I get rid off it completely and just connect the line to the BT master socket?

doesn't having them untwisted now hurt the signal quality?

So is it alright for me to use that kind of jelly connector (3 way) to connect only two telephone wires?

Can you remove jelly crimps without cutting the wire?

What do you cease jelly connectors into Do you connect second cable to other side of junction box. You didn't show this. Otherwise learnt a lot.

Cost me £165 for a 15 minute bt visit just to extend the line

the quality of the video is terrible, it's "out of focus & distorted" and the camera is up far too high, and parts of the assembly were NOT shown?? i recommend you to re-do the video and CHECK IT BEFORE you post it, as it is IMPOSSIBLE to view??
