Technical Details
- A faceplate filter/splitter of the type installed by the BT engineer for an installed ADSL service. Some have a BT logo, others are plain (both are the same product)
- IMPROVES BROADBAND SPEED AND RELIABILITY* (*although not guaranteed to be any different, we have generally found a noticable increase & less drop of broadband in poor signal areas)
- It replaces the lower half of the BT NTE5a or NTE5b master socket and provides two outlets on the faceplate, one is an RJ11 socket (wired "straight through", unfiltered) for the connection of ADSL modems, the other is a BT 431A socket which is filtered for the connection of telephony equipment.
- Saves putting a filter on every socket, only 1 is needed - you need to cable from this socket to the computer separately
- Compatible with caller display (doesn't strip out the caller ID information) - Tested by BT to SIN issue 2.2

Product Description
A faceplate filter/splitter of the type installed by the BT engineer for an installed ADSL service.
IMPROVES BROADBAND SPEED AND RELIABILITY* (*although not guaranteed to be any different)
It replaces the lower half of the BT NTE5a or NTE5b master socket and provides two outlets on the faceplate, one is an RJ11 socket (wired "straight through", unfiltered) for the connection of ADSL modems, the other is a BT 431A socket which is filtered for the connection of telephony equipment.
A 3-way IDC connector on the rear also provides a filtered output to any extension sockets (new 6 way are also available).
This unit is ideal if you have one computer within reasonable distance of the master socket, if all the other sockets are for telephony use you don't need microfilters at each outlet.
DO NOT PUT ADDITIONAL FILTERS ON EXTENSIONS
* Tested by BT to SIN issue 2.2
* Compatible with caller display (doesn't strip out the caller ID information)
* CE marked - BS EN55022
* Moulded from VO rated material colour matched to BT 1P white
* Dimensions (HxWxD): 68x84x30mm (excluding protruding connector plug)
Note: The NTE5 master socket is the type that when the lower half is un-plugged, it isolates the BT network side from the subscriber.
Any ADSL modems connected to the filtered output, either via the socket on the front or connected into hardwired extension sockets wired from the rear, will not function from these filtered outputs.
Some faceplates are branded BT, some are plain - all are made in the same factory
Does not include NTE5a socket pictured

This is a very good quality ADSL Filter. It was BT (with the BT Openreach instructions), as it should have been (supplied by Tech Express), fitted on a line for a phone system. It had the push in connections on the back for the extensions to be input and was made in the UK! - very well made, basically the ones BT engineers fit at peoples premises if all else fails, and the broadband drops, this filter is so well made there is little loss and the broadband gains speed/connectability
If you want an extension to your modem/router you need a special socket kit: 10m Broadband Extension Kit (ADSL Socket Kit) - extends your Broadband modem, or router from the ADSL broadband filter (either plug in style or BT Linebox faceplate broadband master filters) - 10 metre cable included with fitted RJ11 plug [also used as ...]

This very much improved the broadband speed that was obtained on the line, and less drop outs. Much better than any other filter, tried quite a few until BT told me to buy theirs, which I thought would not make much difference, but it really did, and you only have to have one filter on the line, not 1 in every socket!!!
If fitting yourself you will also need a push in tool, links below (I have the top one, as it is good quality, metal end connector):

Product arrived within two days, and was simple to install. Just unscrew the old face plate and push this one into wall socket. Two minutes!
Broadband speed increased from 7Meg to 12meg straight away.
brilliant and simple

I can say I am thoroughly impressed in this kit. It has definately improved my broadband speeds. I was initially getting 3.5Mbps - now just over 6Mbps.
Installation:
You will need a crimper and I would recommend a good crimper tool, as the boards in these filters are very flimsy and can easily break when too much pressure is applied. The rest is easy, A + B for blue wire and white wire. Number 2 for orange wire and number 5 for white wire. Plug into test socket. Job done.
Expectations:
Before you buy this I would seriously think about the realistic speeds you will achieve. There are many factors which contribute to the overall speed in broadband. Do your own tests before purchasing:
Its vital you run speed test as this will give you an idea of what your are achieving. Run several speed tests (Java based speed tests are better), record the scores, then disconnect your equipment and test directly into the master test port (with phones and faxes completely disconnected) and make sure only one device is connected to the router via ethernet cable. Then perform speed tests again and record the scores.
If you notice a large difference in speed test scores i.e. an improvement in speeds than this will confirm the purchase of this product. If you don't then you won't really achieve much gain, if any at all. I would say if you notice speed differences of 2.5Mbps or plus then definately worth getting. If you notice 0.5Mbps difference.. then its not really worth the effort (common sense).
Broadband is a vast topic but the above is a general test that you, the End User can perform.
I hope the above helps and those that have said this product failed... its probably due to your line length and the copper degrading (or simply that your speed is optimal based on line conditions)... there is a solution for that too, but for another day.
I would recommend this product.
