Please log in for more thread options 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. | |||||||||||||

What happens if you connect pair-2 to post-3...? All the best, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS." | |||||||||||||
