[SOLVED] Identifying telephone / networking / other wires.

Hi I have moved into a new build property that was completed 2 years ago. We already have broadband and telephone connected via another route into the house when the BT engineer came.

However, just outside the front door there are 2 mystery cables that the engineers could not even help us identify at the time. Nor was the original construction company much help on the matter.

I have posted some photos of the wires below, in the hope that someone could kindly help identify or at least point me in the right direction so as to get these wires properly identified.

apologies although the images appear scaled differently, the image below is the thicker bundle of wires, all of which are of a similar gauge to the image with the white cable posted first.

Many thanks,

None of the wire is in twisted pairs which pretty much rules it out as data cable.

Key would be to try to find the other end. My guess would be telephone or maybe alarm cable.
