NTE5C SDSL Faceplate

Unlike the VDSL faceplate, the SDSL faceplate doesn’t contain any electronics, nor does it include a phone socket. It is in effect an RJ45 socket which plugs into a standard NTE5C socket. The A connection of the NTE connects to pin 4 of the RJ45 and B connects to pin 5.

Non BT/Openreach branded telephone sockets

Ionica was a domestic telecoms provider which operated in the UK between 1995 and 1998.
An octagonal dish was attached to the property which received its signal from a microwave transmitter.
