This very long ( 45 metre long ) cable reel was used for a mains hedge trimmer when we had a large garden - we longer have that garden so it's no longer needed. Steel tube frame with just a tiny amount of surface rust (on the bottom where it's subject to wear), plastic drum/reel and handle. 4 heat protected sockets. 13 amp plug and fuse. Collection welcomed from Wood Vale / Langton Rise SE23 area.

Problem with BT installing fibre optic cable
George Orwell replied to mayfly's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Mayfly, the actual fibre optic cable terminates in the Openreach box inside your house. The cable cannot have sharp bends in it - only gentle curves. You will have a copper cable with several strands ( Cat5 or Cat6) running from the Openreach termination box to the router. The phones plug into the router - you can have extension wires pretty much as long as you want. -
Problem with BT installing fibre optic cable
George Orwell replied to mayfly's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
If it helps: We had a good experience with the installation of BT Fibre into the house. There is a plastic box on the wall outside into which the incoming cable runs. They then drilled a hole through our 225mm thick solid brick wall and fitted the final white plastic box (which needs a power supply) on the inside of the wall neatly covering the hole. Our own CAT5 cable runs to our own choice of positioning of the router. As it happens, I ran my own cable under the floor myself before they arrived, but it can be clipped to the skirting board if you want. To save trouble, I'd do that and think about a neater wiring solution later at your own convenience,
