I was a bit suprised how the 9 cat5 wires were terminated for voice/fax. Thay were terminated with blue wire nuts! I couldnt believe it. This work was done by a sparky. So need to install a bix and terminate Is this common practice by spakies in this industry? This is the first time I have seen this. Now I need to go buy a rj11 spliter block that splits lines one and two for testing of those lines
