What Does the POTS Splitter Do?
The POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) splitter and SuperLine IAD are components
in the SuperLine system. This system provides multiple phone lines and optional
Ethernet service over traditional twisted-pair copper telephone wiring.
The POTS splitter filters out the SuperLine signal and allows the POTS frequencies to
pass through. The SuperLine IAD and separate telephones 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. The POTS splitter eliminates the need for individual
phone filters.
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 network interface device (NID).
Wiring is connected from the demarcation point to the POTS splitter and to the
SuperLine jack.
