[H-GEN] Silly bit of phone cable.

[RB]

For legal purposes, you may put an extension lead through holes in floor 
and wall without altering the ends. You could plug this into a connector 
thus giving you a room connection. Hot melt glue could hold the 
connector in place for the room lead. The other end can go into a double 
adapter or a free socket as required. Hence, all terminations were done 
by qualified persons and the cost is minimal.

Good luck
Ron
