About the 5930 POTS/ISDN Splitters

The 5930 POTS/ISDN splitters separate the DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and
POTS (plain old telephone service) or ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)
frequencies. The 5930 POTS/ISDN Splitter chassis holds from two to eight
POTS/IDSN splitter cards, each of which supports 24 DSL subscriber lines:

 The 1U Model 5930-B1-048 supports 2 cards and 48 DSL subscriber lines

 The 3U Model 5930-B1-144 supports 6 cards and 144 DSL subscriber lines

 The 4U Model 5930-B1-192 supports 8 cards and 192 DSL subscriber lines

The 5930 series shelves provide lifeline POTS: whenever a card is removed from
the shelf, POTS service is uninterrupted, ensuring that critical services like 911
remain available to the end user.

5900 Series is environmentally hardened to handle such locations as remote
cabinets as well as Central Offices.
