Austin Taylor is a BT licensed manufacturer of the NTE5.
The
NTE5 is fitted inside customer premises and provides a demarcation point
between network and consumer wiring.
Using
a removable lower cover, consumer extension wiring can be easily isolated
from the telephone network facilitating easy fault location.
The
NTE5 is supplied fully mastered i.e. full PSTN
master.
The
NTE5A is designed to terminate networks using heavy drop wire which
is connected to two heavy duty screw terminals.

Extension telephone wiring is connected to iDC contacts housed in the
lower consumer access cover and, on removal of the cover, can be easily
isolated for test purposes.
Removing
the consumer access cover also exposes the test socket which is used
to determine whether a fault lise in the telephone or the customer wiring.
When
the lower cover is replaced, gold plated contacts connect the customer
wiring to the network.

The CTE5 is a variant of the NTE5 designed for use on networks using
standard telephony wiring or siamese cables. The network wiring is connected
to a 3 way IDC (NB: maximum conductor diameter 0.65mm)
