BT point exstension

[1amp]

hi im plannig on extending my main bt poit. the main bt point (A,B) has four core to it black green white and orange from overhead and iv got hold of another bt main point. my plan is to run a cat 5 from the main A and B (incoming) to the secondary point in the A and B terminals.

would this work ?

BT owns the stuff up to the master socket, i.e. from pole or underground, into the house and terminated on a socket usually marked with BT. After that point then you can run additional sockets using cat 3 or 5 to secondary sockets which have no internal components. You can convert a master to secondary by removing the ringing capacitor, line resistor and surge protector. you connect cables 2,3 and 5 together preferably using the std colours of 2(blue/white) , 3(orange/white) and 5(white/blue). Always best to leave the master where it is and run secondaries around the house simply daisy chaining the remembering that more than 5 phones and you may have trouble getting them to ring, also if its a broadband line you need a filter with every phone/fax connected, hope this helps

What style of master socket is it? If it's an NTE5 (with a removable lower faceplate) you're in luck. BT helpfully provide four crone terminals on the back of the faceplate to wire extensions to. If not, then a plug-in extension kit or something might have to do. The master sockets are an integral part of BT's network and they get upset when they find people messing with them.

If you want your ADSL interference free and good broadband speed don't connect terminal 3

If your broadband router is at the master socket then use one of these BT NTE-2000 ADSL Faceplate for NTE5 to replace the lower half of the master and you don't need filters on the slave sockets

I've got one of these. They're well good.
