So I have just drilled the external BT cables into the house.

Is this correct re the wiring?
This often has Orange, White, Green and Black wires. Usually (but not always) Orange and White are the active pair and go to connections 2 and 5.

So
Orange = 2
White = 5
Green =
Black =

But what do they corrolate to the internal colour wiring?
Internal BT have 4 wires with different cables.

Thanks

I am still confused. Sorry chaps. What numbers do I punch down for the green and black cables?

External bt
Orange = 2
White = 5
Green =
Black =

Internal.. Is the correct?
2 = Blue with White Bands
5 = White with Blue Bands


So orange is punched down to 2 and white is 5.. That's correct isn't.
What do I do with green and black.

Thanks
