is it to allow you to place the openreach modem at a different location, or to allow you to place the router at a different location?
if it's the former - for example, if i already have a VDSL faceplate on the master socket, is that kit any different to me just running CW1308 cable from the A/B terminals on the faceplate to another socket elsewhere (under 30m)?

CAT5e isn't the easiest to conceal when running along skirting boards and up walls.

Really good question as with separate modem and router this could indeed be configured in a number of ways.
@Avatastic,
Are there different data extion kits, different ways of installing them or just confusion - see here http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,132258.msg1155307.html#msg1155307 - this is somewhat different to your description, which is much the same as what I thought it was.

There is no second socket there for a voice point, and that certainly looks like cat5 to me, but that doesn't mean the VDSL faceplate's RJ45 socket doesn't have a voice pair wired up that can be used to make a dual purpose extension.
Cheers,
A.

The supplier here (disclaimer, I've no previous association with this supplier, it just happened t' be the first I found selling the 'official' extension kit) suggests, to me, that BT are still using the same kit for VDSL as they were ADSL, just with an RJ45 plug on one end in case their subcontractor CBA to punch it down inside the faceplate.

i think that post refers to moving the master socket, which isn't the same as the VDSL data extension kit.
