What Does the POTS Splitter Do?
The POTS splitter and HotWire Remote Termination Unit (RTU) are components in the
RADSL Access System. This system provides high-speed Internet or corporate LAN
access over traditional twisted-pair copper telephone wiring.
The POTS splitter filters out the DSL signal and allows the POTS frequencies to pass
through. The RADSL RTU and telephone can function simultaneously over the same
pair of copper wires at the customer premises when a POTS splitter is used at both
ends of the local loop.
Copper pairs run from the central office to the customer premises to create the local
loop. The local loop terminates on the customer premises at the demarcation point in a
punchdown block or NID.
Wiring is connected from the demarcation point to the POTS splitter and to the DSL
jack. Wiring also connects the demarcation point to an RJ11 wall jack for DSL access
by the RTU.

Mounting the POTS Splitter Housing
The POTS splitter can be placed:
H On the outside of the structure near the NID or punchdown block, or
H Inside the building.
When mounted outside, the POTS splitter must be installed at or above the height of
the NID, and should be a minimum of three feet above ground.
At the front of the housing, align the housing to open from the right with the rubber
grommet for cable access facing downward. Place the housing upright as shown. Use a
Phillips-head or combination Phillips/slotted-head screwdriver and the screws included
in the package.
If mounting to:
H Cement or cinder block: use a drill and
and 3/16″ masonry drill bit to install the
two plastic anchors first. Then, install the
two 8–15 x 1″ Type A screws.
H Wood: install only the two 8–15 x 1″
Type A screws and discard the
plastic anchors.

Installing the POTS Splitter Wiring
The local loop ends at the punchdown block or NID. Wiring must be connected from the
customer premises (CP) side of the punchdown block or NID to the DSL jack. Typically,
the punchdown block is installed in commercial locations and the NID is installed in
residential locations.
The following is an example of a punchdown block.

Notice to Users of the Telephone Network
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the inside of the
equipment’s enclosure is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC
registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If
requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company .
This equipment is intended to be hard wired to the telephone line’s primary protector
and to the inside building wiring. If the primary protector utilizes an RJ1 1C jack for the
inside building wiring connection, connection to the protector must be made using a
Part 68-compliant telephone line cord, spade terminal to RJ1 1C plug.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company .
