How to remove old phone cables?

Wanting to remove a very old telephone cable from the outside of building. Can someone tell me if we can cut the cables and remove plate. Just checking there is no power involved with very old telephone wires.

Re: Old Phone Cables

Hello @hilaryknight 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your phone cables. 

 

While the risk of electrical shock from a low-voltage phone line is minimal, it is advisable to exercise an abundance of caution by consulting a licensed electrician or telecommunications professional for assistance with removing redundant telephone lines.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
