NTE5A type master socket, as previously installed by BT Openreach (now replaced by the NTE5C master socket). Equiped with a "test socket" it allows easy testing of the BT network, simply remove the lower front plate to isolate any internal wiring & plug a phone/router into the test socket. Wiring is via IDC terminals, on the rear these connect to the incoming BT line, on the front faceplate these connect to 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 & cable ties. The 22mm back box can be discarded if flush mounting, the socket fits any standard single gang box. Dimensions (L) 85mm x (W) 85mm x (H) 35.5mm.

For ADSL/VDSL installations the lower half of the front faceplate (as pictured below) can be replaced with a filtered faceplate such as the VTE2015, this will give the same benefits of the bell wire filter with the addition of centralised ADSL/VDSL filtering. (Note, these are known as Service Specific Faceplates (SSFPs).
