BT NTE5A Master Socket & IDC Tool

Used for - This BT master socket should be connected to the main incoming telephone line into a property, it cannot be used as an extension socket. The faceplate should be fitted to the supplied 23mm standard single back box using the included fixing screws. The included IDC tool can be used for connecting the internal wires on the BT cable to the master socket.

Why Buy? - The NTE5A master socket has a removable front panel as can be seen in the picture (removing the front panel removes all customer extensions etc. and allows the user to plug directly into the line operator i.e. BT),

making testing a line extremely easy. This is the latest version of BT socket with a bellwire filter which can help to improve broadband speeds.


How to fit -

The BT drop cable coming from outside the property usually has orange, white, green and black wires. Usually (but not always) the orange and white internal wires are the active pair and go to connections A and B on the master socket, in some master sockets these connections are marked 2 & 5. If you are removing or changing your current master socket, you can check which wires are the active pair by looking at the original wiring. Which way round the internal wires are connected does not usually matter, however the polarity can sometimes stop some equipment from working. One of the cables will have a voltage of -48V and this needs to go to pin 5 (B) and the other will have a voltage of 0V and this needs to go to pin 2 (A). Voltage can be checked by using a multimeter, if you do not have one, they are available in our shop. Connection of the active pairs into this master socket can be done using the IDC tool which is included in this pack. The BT drop cable has more than 1 pair of internal cables, this is for if you wish to have 2 or more lines in your property, or if a pair fails, the chances are that there are still existing pairs available, hence there would be no need to replace the drop cable.

Fitting an extension - If you wish to wire an extension off this master socket, a cable should be run through the back box and to the front panel. There is 3 IDC terminals where a cable can be attached using an IDC tool. The extension socket should be wired to the master socket in the following format; terminal 2 to 2, 3 to 3 and 5 to 5. If you require telephone cable, this is available in our shop.
