[QUOTE="SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH, post: 215831, member: 16"] My colleague wired some Cat 5 outlets as part of a loft conversion. The customer wasn't sure where the PC was going so asked for 3 outlets. We made her aware only one could be used at a time. He wired the 3 from one to the next. It appears only the last outlet will ever work, not any in the middle of a run. Anyone ??? If this cant be done the only way round it i can see is to make the plates double, with an in & out and fit a patch lead in both. The customer then can choose which outlet they want to use by removing the patch & plugging in the PC. Remember this is one line with only one outlet needed at any one time . [/QUOTE]
