Need telephone cable installation troubleshooting advice |
|
|
I have 3 telephone numbers coming into my small retail store. They
come in to the left side of a distribution block. I had no trouble
wiring two outlets by attaching the matching colored wire to the posts
in the center of the block. When I tried to run a 3rd outlet using the
same style, except on the right posts, it came up totally dead: no
signal whatsoever. I then checked the cable thoroughly finding no
problems and then ran a short test cable from the block to the jack and
it also came up dead. I also tested by hooking directly to the
incoming posts. Also dead.
Is there a voltage limit that I have exceeded? Am i missing something?
I have double checked the color matches and they are fine.
Any help be appreciated. Thank you. |

Howdy,
No expert I, but...
Might the block be defective?
What happens if you connect pair-2 to post-3...?
All the best,

Is it a split block, in which case you will need bridge clips?
CIAO!
