    Hi lads

    I know this is more an tech question but hopefully someone here can help. Iva a request from a client to extend a phone point from one point on his land to another. It’s around 30 meters apart with solid walls inbetween. I would Be running potentially, a cat 6e housed in metal or pvc conduit on the exterior of the building and just extending the existing phone point (aka looping it) to a new point in another building and adding in a second phone. Just wondering if any of the lads here have ever done something similar and if so was higher spec cable etc needed? Thanks in advance lads

    If it is a simple phone point the cable you have selected will be ideal.

    Ya that’s what I’ll use. I’ll most likely double the pair then
    White blue and blue as 1 cable and
    White green and green as the other one then. I’ve extended phone lines previously but never this distance so just said I’d ask here. Thanks for the reply
