my questions are..
1) Is their a maximum distance of (drop) cable between.. master interface and master 1st socket.?

2) Adding extra sockets.. do they all need to be LJU1/1A,2,3,4 ect ect
Master IDC Socket, with a capacitor, resistor and surge arrestor, to keep with bt regulations.?? or can others be used.?

Hi Pete,

I'll check with someone else about the maximum distance, but I think it may be about 50 metres.

If you want to add extra sockets, I'd personally add LJU 2/1 +2 a's But I think you can only add a maximum of 6, and if you were to add 6, I'd use 3 x 2/1a and 2x 2/2a

Below is a link for phone sockets
