Rural CuWi How To Videos
Whilst FttH (Fibre to the Home) and its partner FiWi (Fibre & Wireless) are undoubtedly the future of telecommunications, otherwise known as NGA (Next Generation Access), for many people especially in rural areas, the problem now, today, is how to get any kind of broadband service.
The following video clips show how an ADSL broadband feed can be extended some 3KM to provide service to a farm house that is beyond the range of ADSL.
If you do not feel entirely confident and competent at performing any of the following tasks – then please don’t DIY and rather seek professional advice and/or installation.
Step 1 – [31 seconds] Replacing an A2 junction box with an NTE5 ADSL filtered faceplate – The property from where the broadband service is to be sourced, itself is on the very limits of ADSL, hence we need to ensure the best signal quality. By fitting a modern master socket at the earliest point of ingress into the property and connecting the ADSL router at that point, we extract the best performance available.
Step 2 – [20 seconds] How the drop wires were originally fitted to A2 junction box
Step 3 – [24 seconds] Cleaning contacts to ensure good connection
Step 4 – [36 seconds] Internal Wiring Colour Coding
Step 5 – [17 seconds] Using the Push-Down Krone Tool
Step 6 – [36 seconds] Performing dog, aerial installers and overview of the purpose of the wireless connection
Step 7 – [48 seconds] Wireless Aerial Pole attachment and cable run
Step 8 – [22 seconds] Cable run to point of property ingress
Step 9 – [94 seconds] How to bring internal wiring into NTE5 junction box
Step 10 – [21 seconds] NTE5 Test Socket
Step 11 – [28 seconds] NTE5 with Filtered Faceplate, the end result
step 12 – [17 seconds] Drilling ****** (note from inside to outside)
Step 13 – [22 seconds] Using rod to insert CAT5 cable through the wall
Step 14 – [36 seconds] 11KV Powerlines – capable of carrying Fibre too…
Step 15 – [54 seconds] UG Box maintenance
Step 16 – [53 seconds] remote end aerial and cable run
Step 17 – [51 seconds] Final internal WiFi installation and job done

This post raises a number of interesting points in the context of the Digital Britain report. There it has been estimated that about 550K homes fall into the category of having a telephone line that is too long and therefore potentially could benefit from a wireless access broadband solution. In addition it is estimated that nearly 2M homes have potentially poor home wiring which prevents them from obtaining a reasonable line speed. In both these cases part of the solution involves replacing the existing telephone junction box with a modern NETE5 (unless one already exists)and that is something that should only be undertaken by a qualified installer. In my own case at home installing an iplate on my existing NTE5 resulted in a significant improvement in line speed. It is increasingly clear that DIY and self help solutions will become more and more popular as people seek to increase their broadband speeds or indeed get broadband at all. Therefore more awareness of these solutions are vitally important.
