Telephone Wiring Question...

[Tesla]

Here is a diagram of the telephone wiring layout of the house.

EXTERNAL LINE

1st Phone Socket (Hallway)

2nd Phone Socket Under my Bedroom Floor

3rd Phone Socket in Front Room


So the telephone cabling comes from the first socket (hallway), along the picture rail and up to underneath my floor. It then goes from there down into the front room which is the third and final socket.

The main socket in the hall way is not used at all and at the moment it's around 1/2 way up the wall so looks a mess cabling wise as the external line come's in high up.

Now, the socket in my room is only used for my Sky box, hence why it's under the floor and I just have the Sky phone cable poking up from under the carpet.

The third socket is the one that is used and it has the DECT phones plugged into.


What I am trying to find out is if there is some sort of small, discrete box that can replace the first socket? I can then move it up ouut of the way so it is much less noticable and obtrusive.

I am aware that the first socket differs from the others in the house.

Cheers,

I am aware of how phone wiring works and I am not worried about having to call out BT etc... as the system isn't that complex (once inside a house).

What I was asking was where can I get some sort of blanking plate or a small box. I do not need a phone socket in the hall way so wondered if a small box which incorporates the master socket circuitry minus the actual socket exists?

I moved my master socket Then again I don't really care about that sort of thing since I do a lot of telecomms works professionally

Why don't you just get a fiberglass box to cover it, or put a painting over it?

I think I may just move the master box up out of the way, seems easiest.

Apparently blanking plates do exist but I can't find anywhere selling them.
