I think given the more risk of losing some sync speed due to lengthening the line...


Seriously?  :o


It can't be more than a few metres.

Nooooooooooo!!!!!

You need a filtered faceplate on the existing master socket. On the back of that are connections for data. You will need to run TWO wires through, one for the data with a socket you can plug your router/modem straight in to without a filter and the second for a phone extension which again won't need a filter as it will be connected to the filtered side of the master socket.

You need 4 WIRES which can be contained within 1 CABLE. Connect 2 wires to data extension terminals in master socket and 2 wires to terminals 2&5 on removable faceplate. At extension you need 2 sockets, an RJ11 for the data and a phone socket for telephony.

licquorice,
Strictly you need 5 wires as the phone extension should have 3 (unless you want 2 master sockets, which is not advised).
Most modern phones will work on a 2 wire connection, but it's not guaranteed.

tuk,
I assume you have swapped the extension phone to prove that it isn't causing the problem?

I've merged the other topic on the same subject into this one.

Is the extension cable you are using at present for the phone plugged in to a filter or filtered socket?

Would it not be better to split the signal at the extension/secondary socket box?

Yes.

It's plugged into a plug-in filter that came with router, ..I've also tried 3 different filters and tried all 3 together in daisy chain.

If you want to do that you would need to make the new location the master and the old location the extension. You could achieve this by crimping the incoming pair of wires to one pair going to the new master within the back box of the now to be extension  and then use  another pair (or 3 wires if you have a steam driven phone) connected to terminals 2&5 (and 3) in the master back to the extension socket.

That might be an idea for the future ...but in the meantime I could use something like this for the extension/secondary box:

Yes, you could do. If you leave the existing master socket you will need to use a filter with it. If you replace the master with a filtered master you would need to wire the extension from the data extension terminals to provide an unfiltered pair at the extension.

If signal is filtered at ms, is it possible to use a single cable for the extension..say cat5?

You only need a single cable whatever you do, just the number of wires utilised will vary.

If your master socket has got a filtered faceplate, this will have A and B connections available. These are unfiltered, and you can use them to connect via an appropriate twisted pair cable to the filtered extension socket. This is the system I have at home.

Will a 'master socket with filtered faceplate' have both sets of extension connections? ...filtered and unfiltered, so both options are available or?

If you use a single cable make sure you use wires from one twisted pair for each purpose.
