Easy way to identify...

kbell · 2014-03-02 18:17:22

Hi guys, a friend moved his existing landline number to a new premises. We need to identify which cable pair is carrying the connection. The attached pic will illustrate what I mean. Is there an easy way of Doing this without getting Eircom out? Cheers Kbell

I believe one of the cheapo 'volt stick' detectors will work if the line is ringing.
also stud/cable finders may work.

Strip back the outer sheath, so you have about 3 inches of each wire to work with.
