Looking to add a couple of extensions - all indoors.

Do I need a 4-core cable (Screwfix quote 18134) or a 6-core cable (quote
17421)?

TIA.

For a normal UK exchange line, 4 core will do. If the price difference
isn't bad, 6 core (3 pair) might be a better idea if the wiring's
difficult to get at, it gives you a spare pair if one goes wrong.
Only terminals 2,3,4 and 5 need to be connected (One of those is the
earth and isn't really needed but its there so why not LOL)
Terminals 1 and 6 are not used on domestic phonelines

HTH

It does - thanks a lot.
