Mk3 faceplate - no microfilters?
« on: February 12, 2021, 12:48:46 PM »

Hi all

Trying to troubleshoot why i'm stuck on interleaved mode again and had a thought!

I've got a Mk3 master socket and i've run an extension using CAT5E cable off the following socket to a patch panel in my network rack. Socket on patch panel goes directly to my modem (no microfilter):



I have a single phone attached to an extension socket which runs off the connection on the faceplate like this:



Am I right in thinking I don't need any microfilters for this setup?

I thought so but just wanted to check I haven't made a stupid mistake

I'm not quite following your post so apologies if this doesn't help.

The 2 pins circled in red are the data extension pins. They should be used for broadband only and not voice.
Any pair running voice should be connected to the rear of the lower faceplate that's been removed in the image above.

Edit: your 2nd image has just loaded, making your post make sense to me now.
I believe that to be the correct setup.

Yes, agreed.
