I’ve emailed Steve to see if he can help, but I wanted to post here too.

This morning I picked up a Beocenter 2 head unit, its socket unit box, and two Beolab 4000 speakers for £50. The system was a fully integrated install by Peter Tyson over 20 years ago, so I had to remove the wiring from the owner’s house.

While removing it I had to cut the data cable that runs from the Beocenter 2 in the kitchen to the socket unit in the living room (which was plugged into a Beovision TV). I hoped to splice it back together, but all the internal wires look the same colour except for a single red one in the centre, so I can’t tell which wires map to which pins.

Has anyone here spliced this type of cable before or knows the pinout? The existing run is about 10–15 metres, whereas I only need roughly 3 metres for the socket unit’s new location.

My options seem to be: attempt the splice myself if I can identify the pinout, or find someone with experience to wire it correctly. Buying a replacement cable isn’t really an option — the ones I’ve seen are around €250.

Cheers,

Ryan
