I purchased a new home three years ago and I wanted to add an additional
phone jack. In my closet, there's the home "Media Center" behind a panel.
I see that there is a mainboard with 10 terminals that leads to the phone
jacks throughout the house, nine of which are in use, so I would like to

attached, it appears you just push the insulated wire down into the slot in
which the insulation is pierced and held in place. I attempted this
without success. Below is a link to a photo I have taken of this
mainboard. I've asked around and nobody knows what I'm talking about and
my home builder was no help at all and did not include manuals for
do-it-yourselfers, rather "hire a qualified electrician." I would
appreciate any help and thank you in advance. Please Cc me via e-mail as I
don't always check news. My email is
