Hi everyone,I have today literally started learning about electrics and have never fitted anything before. We recently built a new piece of furniture next to a double plug socket so had to remove it so the furniture would fit next to the wall. I made a hole in the unit and now need to extend the cable so it can fit through the hold and into the new location of the new double socket.1) I need to extend some cable from the wall only buy about 15cm so I bought some strip connectors and some insulation tape - I presume that is what I need? 2) So my second question is what type of cable do I need - I presume its 2.5mm twin and earth cable?3) If you see the attached photo there are 2 sets of red and black wires and 3 earth wires (1 of the earth wires seems to come from the other side of the wall. So how many of these wires do I need to connect to the double socket? What do I do with the extra earth wire?Thanks!!!!Kerry
