Hello All:

ATT advised me to go to cat 5 with my telephone wiring to improve DSL
connectivity.

I've got a new dual phone receptacle to accommodate the DSL modem and
a phone simultaneously.

Here is what I got:

I looked up online at various sites as to how to wire, but cannot
figure out the receptacle end.

Her is what the back of my receptacle looks like:

How do I connect the cat 5 wires to this receptacle?

Thanks,

P.S.: I found this at the Ace H/W site but it sis not make sense.

Ask someone else at ATT. *Inlines to your house from the pole are
telephone wire so how is cat five going to help. *Its like putting a
larger pipe after a smaller pipe. *The "splitter" mentioned elsewhere is
a split filter. *One side goes to modem and other to phone. *Single
filters are needed for all other phone lines.- Hide quoted text -

Well, ATT tech was the one who said Cat 5 is what they put these days.
In fact, he gave me the wire. I was using old wiring and DSL was
losing speed or completely going out all the time. Fortunately there
was a second unused Cat 3 interior line that went to the bedroom that
we ATT switched us to, and the problems went away. That's when the ATT
tech handed me the Cat 5 cable...

Since this line is dedicated to DSL, I don't use any filters.

Thanks!
