ADSL Filter Wiring

exaisle

Hi All,

I have an adsl filter fitted....one of the type that fits onto the standard Eircom NTU unit with a Broadband and Telephone Socket instead of just a Telephone Socket at the front.

Question....can this be wired entirely from the back so that the telephone output and broadband output can be routed back into the wall (the house was wired with CAT 5 throughout).

This is purely for neatness sake.....

TIA for any help on this.

I doubt such a thing exists. Filters terminate in female rj11 telephone jack and rj45 Ethernet. Ethernet and Cat 5 is all about the twists, the twists are uniform in each of the 4 pairs of strands and they are the exact same length in a factory made cable to eliminate crosstalk.

I'm not sure you understood my post. Whether or not this exists is not the issue. It does. Theres a pic here of what I have. It's called a filtered DSL faceplate:

My question is....the outputs from this unit are on the front. I'm wondering whether there's any way of connecting the outputs internally (ie. hardwired inside the "box" without using an rj11 and rj45 connector) so that the won't be sticking out(and liable to get a wallop from a vacuum cleaner, or somebody's shoe etc...)

I do understand what you mean and explained why you will struggle to find one, filters terminate in female rj11 or rj45 sockets, You will not find one with rj11 or rj45 sockets on the inside nor will you find one with punchdown.
There may be a solution, but I've never seen one

OP the answer is YES for the phone connection. They are designed to work this way where the rest of the extensions are fed from the back of that filtered NTU thus filtering them also. The DSL connection only exits the frond of the unit.

If you dont want your modem them, which by the sounds of it you dont, replace that socket with a blanking plate and place the filtered NTU where you want the modem, ensuring to wire the rest of the house back to ITs internal phone connection.

Also note that your modem is supposed to be plugged into the main socket, if you have a problem and contact your provider the first thing they will tell you is to move the modem to the main socket as that is as far as they support, beyond that is your own internal wiring. This is usually not an issue as long as your cabling is fine, I've not got mine in the main socket and sync at the same rate
