FAQs

What is a BT telephone slave extension socket?

A slave extension socket allows you to connect an additional telephone device to your existing telephone line, branching off from a primary or master socket. It does not function independently.

Do I need a master socket for this product?

Yes, this is a slave extension socket and requires a pre-existing master telephone socket to function. It extends the line from your master socket.

What are the dimensions of each socket?

Each socket plate is 86mm wide, 86mm high, and has a projection of 7mm from the wall.

What material is the socket plate made from?

The socket plates are manufactured from high-quality materials with a polished chrome finish and a black trim.

Can I use this for broadband internet?

These sockets are designed for traditional voice telephone lines. While some basic internet services might use the same wiring, they are not specifically designed or tested for broadband data connections and may not provide optimal performance.

How many sockets are included in this pack?

This listing is for a two-pack, meaning you will receive two individual BT telephone extension sockets.

What is the warranty period for these sockets?

Information regarding the specific warranty period is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the retailer or Loops for detailed warranty information.

Troubleshooting

No dial tone on the connected phone.

Verify that the socket is correctly wired to the master telephone line. Ensure the phone itself is functional by testing it on another line. Check that the phone cord is securely plugged into the socket.

Intermittent connection or poor call quality.

Inspect the wiring connections within the socket and at the master socket for any loose wires. Ensure the telephone cable is not damaged. Clean the contacts inside the socket if they appear dirty.

Socket appears loose on the wall.

Check the mounting screws securing the socket to the wall. Ensure they are tightened appropriately for a secure fit. If the wall surface is damaged, you may need to use wall anchors.
