VIRGIN MEDIA
DIGITAL HUB

On the back of the hub is an analogue socket.  This is an RJ11 socket and the line appearance is on the centre two wires.

To connect the hub to your existing house wiring buy a cord with an RJ11 plug on one end and fit a Master socket with screw terminals.

Most sockets, like the one mentioned above, require a special wire inserter tool but a company called Kenable can supply a master Line Jack Unit No. 2/4A (code no. 004629) socket which has screw terminals.  It is advisable to purchase the screw type as you will be connecting the wires from the cord to them and the inserter type connectors do not like cord wires!.  Kenable also sell cords with a BT plug on one end and an RJ11 on the other.

Instructions
