Hello Geekzone.

Can any body answer what this might be?
No markings on the plastic cover and on the inside it has two, 'line' & 'inst'.

It was suggested to be a ringer for the POTS land line but there is a lot of meaty solid copper core cables in there.
The house is a 1950's build.

I would like to remove it along with the wall paper then fill the hole.

Pictures were taken with power turned off at the mains board as a precaution.

Cheers all,
Jeremy

Lightning protection for an aerial fed copper landline.




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Hi Jeremy, I presume you are not or not intending to get any useful xDSL service down an old open wire aerial drop, if you are I strongly recommend you ask Chorus (via your RSP) to replace it with a modern solution.
