Bare telephone wire

Vanes -

Hello,

I have a question. I just moved into a new place and to my surprise, when I arrived, the phone wall socket is hanging off the wall and the wires inside are exposed.

Is this dangerous because I would like to reattach the
socket to the wall

Thank you in advance

    Hello
    the gray and white cables are to be connected (they are for the phone or ADSL)
    the others are no longer useful, they can be secured to the socket or at least isolated as a precaution

    A thank you is appreciated.
    Mark as resolved if your problem has been solved. I use the informal 'tu' with everyone.

      Super, thank you very much but I don’t tinker at all and I don’t know anything about it
      I just wanted to know if leaving them uncovered is dangerous and if it can catch fire?

    Hello,
    I hope you have reported the defect on the inventory, so you need to ask the landlord or owner to have this socket repaired at their expense.
    Otherwise,
    the telephone wires normally used pose no risk of electrocution or fire, as the currents they carry are far too low to be dangerous.

      Thank you very much for your response.
      Yes, it’s noted in the inventory but my landlord isn’t in a hurry (even to cash the deposit and rent ???? )
      So I’m going to take care of it myself because seeing this thing hanging drives me up the wall.
      Have a good day.

        In principle,
        it should not be glued.
        The sockets must be screwed onto a support embedded in the wall, as required by the standard.

        Ah yes I know, but everything has been torn off and it's dangling. I have no other way but to find a makeshift solution.
