Hi John

That's almost correct. At the master socket, rather than have a BT
socket plugged into the end I have the cat 6 wired like this (2nd
photo) ie directly into the extension push down connectors on the
face of the master socket (currently brown and brown/ white). At the
moment there is a BT "slave" socket on the end.

The alarm wire is currently run directly from the alarm box to the
slave socket. Based on the above plan is to remove slave socket and
wire everything in as you suggest. Only question now is which colours
I need to connect into the master socket for it all to work. I think
it is blue / blue white but not sure

Blue/blue white would be a common choice - however it does not really
matter, as long as you have the right connections.

Normally the NTE5 style master sockets have a front panel with and IDC
terminal block on the reverse to add extensions to (done like that, so
removing the front panel will "unplug" the extensions for diagnostic
purposes). That block normally has three connection points - with
terminations for A & B wires (aka 2 & 5) and Bell or 3. With that
arrangement you just need a pair of wires in the CAT6 to take the A+B /
2+5 to the slave socket.

You mention broadband, so you might have a master socket with an
integral filter. Some of these sport 5 connections on the back, 2, 5, &
3 filtered, and 2 & 5 unfiltered. You use whichever is appropriate for
where the router is connected. i.e. if its plugged into the master, then
you run all the extensions from the filtered side. If it needs to plug
in elsewhere, then you run the unfiltered pair to just that socket - and
the socket will also need a filter / splitter.
