Hi Jeffie and Hobbist.
thanks for your response.

However, I think your instructions pertain to phone jacks.

I want to move cables that run from the apartments below and above. I am on a middle floor of a 12 story building, so those cables run the height of the building. The cables have to be made longer so they can be re-routed a by a few feet. Specifically, the cables are runing on a veritcal slant. I want to the calbes to run vertically about 24 inches above the floor, then run horizontally for about 36" to the right , then vertically to the ceiling and horizantally 36" to the left and back up through the ceiling. I think the cables need to be cut, additional length of cables have to be inserted, and rejoined.
Bell Canada tells me to get an electrician. My electrician (and others) don't want to touch the phone cables and says the Bell Canada should send someone.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
