BT and ADSL accessory point

[roukel01]

Morning folks

I was working at a house the other day and spotted a phone point. Unlike the usual line splitter that is plugged in so that you can connect a phone and router, this one was a combined BT & ADSL points on the faceplate.

Has anyone ever seen these and where would I get them from?

Thanks

Have a look at face plates sold by Clarity

Clarity :: ADSL Filtering...

They have hard wired terminals for ADSL only extenstion socket, if you need to place the router away from the Master Socket

That's the non I plate version, bt don't use them now, they replaced them with what I listed which goes the full height of the socket, I plates have the bell wire filter, all the new openreach sockets have bell wire filters to improve adsl speeds, quite a new thing

are these for just adding extra phone socket and internet socket, was thinking of adding extra connection in bedroom, do these just loop of other 1, and are they difficult or straight forward thanks.is there a voltage at bt sockets???????

Hi, no these arent for adding extensions.

they go on your BT NTE5 Master Socket

you remove the lower half, and replace with the plate, the one I listed is the latest one from BT Openreach and has the built in RF bell wire filter which improves your broadband speed slightly, but apart from that it basically replaces the ADSL filters you normally have to plug into every phone socket in your house, as the upgrade faceplate filters the whole house telephone wiring. Also because it has the ADSL and Telephone socket built into it, you can plug your modem straight into it.

Idea is, you loop out of the lower half of the BT NTE5 Master Socket, to your Slave sockets in your house.

you cant loop out of an NTE5 master socket from the front lower half though into another NTE5 master socket as thats for looping out for slave sockets, if you need several of these in your house you need to loop out the top half of the NTE5 socket.. but touching the top half is BTs property, BT only allow you to touch the bottom half, hence it being removable... people dont really take any notice lol but just be aware of it.

there is a voltage yes,

50v dc, it jumps to 75ac on incming call according to BT openreach engineer.
but the amperage is so low you can touch the bare wires and dont feel a thing.

Not on the very old overhead phone lines, they can give you a good tingling!!
