Please note, we supply the latest version of the NTE5(A) that features the filter on the bell wire circuit for IMPROVED ADSL PERFORMANCE! NOT all versions of the NTE5 currently available feature the bell wire filter! This is the same socket as BT Openreach install (minus the Openreach logo, BT Openreach branded versions available) made by the SAME company!

NTE5 type master socket, as currently installed by BT Openreach (the external versions known as XNTE are now discontinued). It allows easy testing of the BT network by removal of the front lower faceplate to reveal the test socket. IDC terminals on the rear connect to the incoming BT line, IDC terminals on the front faceplate allow the end user to easily connect internal telephone extension wiring. Supplied as three pieces (22mm back box, rear faceplate with test socket & lower front faceplate with integrated bell wire filter) complete with screws. The 22mm back box can be discarded if flush mounting, the socket fits any standard single gang box.

For ADSL installations the lower half of the front faceplate (as pictured below) can be replaced with a filtered faceplate such as the NTE2000, NTE2005, vDSL/ADSL Faceplate or XTE2005 clone, this will give the same benefits of the bell wire filter with the addition of centralised ADSL filtering (the vDSL version retains the original faceplate). These are known as Service Specific Faceplates (SSFPs).

Moulding for the bell wire filter, note this does not guarantee your current socket has the filter!

Bell wire inductor fitted to the PCB.

This socket will replace ALL variants of the NTE5, NTE5A, NTE5B, CTE5 & is also a direct replacement for ANY master type socket. Find out how this is a neater solution to the BT Broad Band Accelerator HERE & get a FREE IDC tool!!
