Broadband

[r.b]

The other day at the wholesaler I saw a 2 gang point with a phone connection and at the side a broadband connection Im orite wiring phone points in a daisy chain but how do you get the broadband involved and wired I presume its part of the phone system?

I had BT install Infinity the other day and thats how they did it phone in one connection broadband in other connection.

They may well be for the new fibre optic services being offered by providers.

Arent they just phone faceplates with built in filters, been available ages.

 

[ProDave]

Isn't it just a filtered front plate, so it filters out the audio phone line, and the higher frequency adsl line?

Saves you having a plug in adsl filter at each phone point.

EDIT Typing the same thing at the same time as Barx

Theres this,

Or this, which replaces the master front plate so no filters are needed on the system, this can also help speed up the data on older master sockets

cat5e or cat6 type cable for internet,

its not difficult, except you cannot daisy chain like a phone line

Or is the OP referring to these,

 

[r.b]

ok cat 5 or cat 6 does this mean there is some kind of hub or cab

 

[steptoe]

Depends how many outlets,

For domestic a switch is probably enough,

I have a 4w router DS and a 4w switch in the office/junk room.
