BT Openreach branded NTE5 type master socket, allows easy testing of the BT network by removal of the front lower faceplate to reveal what is known as 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. The NTE5 is the type of socket that BT Openreach currently install (the external versions known as XNTE are now discontinued), supplied as three pieces (22mm rear back box, rear plate with test socket and front lower plate) with screws & BT Openreach branded instructions, the socket can be flush mounted to any single gang back box if required.

The lower front half can be replaced with an ADSL filtered faceplate such as the BT NTE2005, this will give the same benefits of the bell wire filter with the addition of centralised ADSL filtering. Also allows the fitment of the new BT ADSL/VDSL faceplate. These are known as Service Specific Faceplates (SSFPs).
