So I’m in need of desperate help In regards too installing a VDSL splitter I know it’s 2021 but I’m out of range of fibre coming too my street.

I have opened my ETP and have found there are only 2 cables and have only 1 pair of each cable connected are blue - white cables connected too each other by colour and on both cables there are red and black cables, one red black pair is isolated and the other is connected by a scotchlok

If I am wanting too install a master splitter is there any way possible to install a master splitter within

Ps I am sorry for the poor quality of my ETP it hasn’t been opened for a very long time

If I could get some help it would be truly appreciated

Is your home line delivered over POTS or the broadband connection? If over broadband you might be doing this the hard way

so with the ETP is there anyway of identifying the wires connected within? regarding the cables inside the ETP

Both of those cables look like outdoor cables, you need to identify which is the line and which goes to your first jack, this is done with a tone tracer, the the spare pair will connect to the green wires of the filter and connect to a dedicated jack for your modem, the blue wires will go to the original pair to your existing jacks for your phones and the orange pair will connect to the line

Id find a professional in your area to do this for you if you are not comfortable and don't have the tools
