Guest Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Today, I've just been to a job where I fitted a dialler and yet again someone (dopey IT company) has plugged various items into the NTE. Obviously this comprimises the security offered by the line seize on the dialler. The NTE is a standard NTE5b (BT master socket with removable lower half and socket) but I keep seeing NTE5a (BT master socket with removable lower half with no socket)here and there and wondered if anyone knew of a source of these lower half blanks?

Guest Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 could always ask your friendly bt engineer nicely lol, u never know what might fall out the back of the van , 31786[/snapback] Yep, thought that would be the answer, just wondered! I tried all the usual suppliers and nothing, not even as a non BT part. I haven't managed to collar a BT bloke recently but it's on my list for when I do.

Guest Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I think I've found a supplier of these lower half NTE5 blanks. If anyone is interested in some then please let me know as there is a minimum order quantity and I'm not really convinced that I'll use 200 of them!

Guest Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 NTE5 Socket with blank detachable front Code = 314678 Yeah, but try getting one though on anything other than a new line, and even then it's not always a dead certainty that one will be fitted even if requested. are you not using a type 80a /92a block terminal ? Sometimes, depends on the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
