78a Connection Box
4-pair to 4-pair connection box,

Krone IDC Terminals numbered 1-8 on both sides

In the context of ADSL installation - very handy for merging/distributing both unfiltered and filtered wiring or merging both into a single cable.

56mm x 41mm x 23mm

My connection box in my flat in naffed. Am I allowed to wire myself a new one providing I buy the equipment? (Only need the connection box which is 2 quid and a punch down tool for a fiver)
If so, does anyone know the pin layouts?
I've got the master line comming in from the estates main telephone terminal into my flat.

Cheers.

No, your allowed to open your nt5e and remove the faceplate to get to the test socket but you cant mess with the wires, bt own that sorry.

They're going to send an engineer for that? Or do you mean an installation tech?

At a guess, the op hasn't got an nt5e, he has the old type

In short, No

If you try to rewire or have any issues, a charge will be applied to fix the issue.

BT eng, oops, I mean technician here, looks like you're all sorted.
Have you the entire estates lines coming in via your flat ? Sounds very dodgy to me as an unscrupulous person could just tap into anyones line if thats the case... Sometimes happens where commercial buildings are converted into flats, though I don't know whats happened in your case.
