BT Openreachâ„¢ MK2 VDSL iPlate - Premium VDSL/ADSL Faceplate
PRODUCT CODE: BTVDSLMK2
![]() |
This faceplate provides the same benefits as the NTE5A bell wire filter with the ADDITION of VDSL/ADSL filtering.
BT Openreach VDSL/ADSL Interstitial faceplate (VDSL iPlate) filter for super fast VDSL services. Designed to plug into a standard NTE5A telephone master socket it is easy to fit, no rewiring is required as the faceplate fits between the existing NTE5 front lower faceplate and the rear of the NTE5 socket. Centralised VDSL filtering is then provided negating the need for plug in microfilters with an RJ45/RJ11 socket providing the connection for a modem/router. Alternatively, provision is made for a hard wired connection to the modem via a two way IDC connector on the front (circled below). This faceplate is backwards compatible with all ADSL services. The Mk2 version features an RF filter for line stability (a filter for small Repetative Electrical Impulse Noise-REIN) & features differential and common mode filtering performances past 30Mhz. The Mk2 version has a less aggressive REIN filter than the Mk3, ideal for stable lines. When fitted to the NTE5A master socket BT refer to this setup as "Type 7: Service Specific Faceplate (SSFP) Infinity".
IDC connections for VDSL extension |
High quality PCB design |
VDSL plate fitted to NTE5 (available separately) |
If you are replacing an ADSL faceplate you will need the original lower front of the NTE5 socket to fit onto the VDSL faceplate as pictured above. If you do not have this part you will need to purchase a complete NTE5A as they are not available separately.
