Taff Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Anyone installed this, I’ve done a search that comes up with x2 x3 x4 etc etc. All I want is armoured cable to run from the BT post underground to the house. There will only be one telephone line. Confused which to get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 You should not have to buy this. Open Reach should come to your site and survey. they will tell you what cable has to go and where it has to go to. They normally then free issue the cable and duct that it goes in. It does seem a regional thing, in some places OR are happy with armoured cable direct burried. In other places they provide a non armoured cable and duct to bury it in. I think ours was 6 pair, but only one pair is actually used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epsilonGreedy Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 @Taff Wales? Shame you are not closer because I have 1/2 a drum of the cable lost in the hedge behind my static caravan. Open Reach abandoned it after linking up mine and another self build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
