Network Terminating Unit
| ||||||||
|
The NTE5 is a network terminating point used in the UK. It
connects to incoming and outgoing copper wiring.
These units also act as a demarcation point and provide a method of
isolating the customers wiring.
Customer equipment equipment can be connected either via the Line Jack or by hard wiring onto IDC contacts fitted inside the faceplate. Removal of the face plate exposes a socket which is used for testing the carriers line. This provides for a clear demarcation point between network and customer wiring. Can be surface mounted (with back box) or flush mounted. Accommodates a single copper telephone line.
NTE5A
NTE 5B
The
NTE 5B has the same function as the NTE 5A but does not have the Line
Jack outlet in the faceplate. The face plate is just used as a
connection for the customer wiring.
This NTE was a "secure" version of the NTE 5A and was typically used for
payphones or lines at secure locations.
NTE5B
NTE 5C Mark 1
This socket is shaped differently to the older NTE5 sockets in so much
as the front is curved in shape. The front plate is removable
without tools and this is done by pressing the clips on either side of
the plate.
Wiring connection is by "Cam Locks" which are colour coded. The ‘Network’ connectors are RED and the ‘Home’ wiring connectors are BLUE. No tools are required for the connection. The Mark 1 can be identified by the blue "Cam Lock" cover. The home wiring is no longer connected to the faceplate, which again makes it even easier to swap according to the service being installed.
NET5C Mark1
NTE5C Mark 1
NTE5C Mark 1
Uses a 2 wire "Cam Lock" connector on the rear connect to the incoming phone line and three wire "Cam Lock" connector on the front to allow the user to connect internal telephone extension wiring. It is supplied as two pieces (rear plate with test socket, incoming line & extension connectors and front lower plate equipped with BT socket). The socket can be flush mounted to a standard single gang back box. The VDSL face plate Mark 4 and G.fast plate can be fitted in place of the supplied front plate. Dimensions (L) 85mm x (W) 85mm x (H) 35.5mm.

VDSL Mark 2 VDSL Face Plate Mark 3 It is designed to plug into a standard NTE5A telephone socket, so 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. This faceplate is backwards compatible with all ADSL services. The Mk3 adds an improved RF filter for line stability (a filter for small Repetitive Electrical Impulse Noise - REIN) and features differential and common mode filtering performances past 30Mhz. If replacing an ADSL faceplate then the original lower front of the NTE5 socket needs to be retained to fit onto the vDSL faceplate. If this is not available then a complete NTE5 will have to be purchased as they are not available separately. Key Features
Note: NOT compatible with NTE5C master sockets! Use MK4 VDSL or G.fast for NTE5C sockets.

VDSL Face Plate Mark 4
The Mk4 VDSL/ADSL filtered faceplate is generally supplied
with a NTE5C master socket. Unlike the previous Mk3 VDSL
faceplate this design reverts back to the previous style of replacing
the lower front half of the master socket (in this case the
NTE5C socket - also available separately). The new design requires no
specialist tools to install - the faceplate clips to the master socket &
all wiring connections are via cam lock connectors so no IDC tool is
required (tool-less IDC connectors). Centralised VDSL & ADSL filtering
is then provided negating the need for plug in microfilters with an
RJ45/RJ11 socket providing the connection for a modem/router & a
filtered telephone socket for telephones etc. Alternatively, provision
is made for a hard wired connection to the modem/router via a two way
cam lock tool-less IDC connector on the rear.
This unit requires a suitable single gang back box. If replacing an existing NTE5A then this socket will fit onto the existing surface mounted back box. It is now supplied with the NTE5C Mk 2 master socket which can be flush mounted without any modification to the back box. This socket combination replaces all versions of the previous NTE5A & all previous versions of filtered faceplate (NTE2000, NTE2005, Mk1, Mk2 & Mk3 vDSL I-Plate). This faceplate will work with ADSL, ADSL2, VDSL, VDSL2 & G.fast. The VDSL face plate plugs into the NTE5C. On the rear of the VDSL face plate are two connectors marked A and B. This is a "Cam Lock" connector which can be used to wire a stand alone broadband socket. The output is filtered so no additional filters are required. The broadband socket can be a normal socket or a data socket. This connector does not support the exchange line and no telephones can be connected to it. Telephone wiring is connected to the front terminals on the NTE5C marked 2, 3 and 5. Please note that the broadband output from the face plate is from the small socket on the front-plate (and the filtered “A” and “B” internal terminals directly behind it ) only. This small socket will not support telephones and a plug in filter for broadband.

G. Fast Faceplate Normally supplied as a complete unit - which includes a NTE5C Mk2 design. This product requires a suitable single gang back box (surface or flush mount). This faceplate will work with ADSL, ADSL2, VDSL, VDSL2 & G.fast. Dimensions (L) 85mm x (W) 85mm x (H) 39mm.
