We recently had the cable company install a phone line into our basement, as we use voice over cable as our telephone provider.
The "intelligent young man" who came to do this was to have just had the additional wire drape from the ceiling so that we could easily move the phone jack to the other side of the room, once we had some framework done. Well, he did NOT do this. He ran the additional wire along the electrical through the small holes drilled into the 2x4 that currently house the electrical wires as they drop down to each junction box.
My question is this, can I CUT the white/blue wires that come from the main phone line and then rewire them back together when they are relocated? If so, can this be done with wire nuts, or must we use a crimper.
Or, would it be best to cut off all of the lines currently fastened within the 3 line crimper and get a new crimper to wire it back together?
TIA!!
