ADSL-NTEFACE-SOL
Solwise ADSL Faceplate Splitter - A splitter of the type installed and used by the BT engineer for an installed ADSL service. Replaces the lower half of the BT 'NTE5' master box and provides connections for both telephone and modem at sockets on the front panel.
Connections are also provided for both filtered (phone) and un-filtered (modem) extensions hard-wired from the rear.
We also supply the the NTE5 original socket if you need to use a faceplate splitter at a location other than your main BT-Master socket. ( See below )
ADSL-NTEFACE
Pressac ADSL Faceplate Splitter - A splitter of the type installed and used by the BT engineer for an installed ADSL service. Replaces the lower half of the BT 'NTE5' master box and provides connections for both telephone and modem at sockets on the front panel.
Connections are also provided for both filtered (phone) and un-filtered (modem) extensions hard-wired from the rear.

ADSL-NTEFACE-ATL
Austin Taylor ADSL Faceplate Splitter - NTE5 compatible ADSL filtered faceplate with connections for filtered and unfiltered extensions. The Austin Taylor Faceplate Splitter is considered by some installers to give superior performance on installations which are a long way from the exchange or for some other reason have a marginal broadband signal.
Connections are also provided for both filtered (phone) and un-filtered (modem) extensions hard-wired from the rear.
ADSL-IPLATE
Standard domestic telephone wiring uses three wires to carry the signal between the master socket and the extensions. Two of these wires come from the outside and are connected directly to your local telephone exchange. The third wire is generated in your master socket and carries the 'bell' signal which is used to ring some old-fashioned telephones when someone calls you.
If you have an ADSL service with each phone connected to a micro-filter then the bell-wire is completely redundant since a bell signal is generated in each micro-filter for the few phones which still need it. Now, unfortunately, this bell-wire tends to cause some degradation to the ADSL signal as it travels about your house.
The Solwise solution to this problem would be to detach the front section of your master socket and disconnect the bell-wire(s) (from pin 3) and re-fit the faceplate.
The BT solution is called the iPlate, sometimes known as a Broadband Accelerator! This device places a filter on the
bell-wire (which remember is not required!).
(The best solution for ADSL wiring is based on a centralised master faceplate splitter such as our ADSL-NTEFACE models, please consider this option if you have ADSL signal quality issues.)
PBX-NTE5
Austin Taylor NTE5: uses screw terminals for connection to the main incoming telephone line pair. The NTE5 measures 84mm square.
PBX-NTE5-PRE
Pressac NTE5: uses IDC terminals (krohn). This NTE5 has a 22 milliHenry inductor on the bell wire which adds extra high end filtering on the bell wire. It is reported that this is required for the BT HomeHub. This inductor IS NOT a substitute for an iPlate or other ADSL filter which will be based on at least one coupled-inductor and several other components to achieve the necessary isolation between the phone and ADSL circuits.
