5020 RADSL POTS Splitter
The Hotwire RADSL System enables simultaneous high-speed digital data
access and analog voice service over the same twisted-pair telephone line. The
simultaneous access to RADSL (Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line) and
POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) requires the installation of a POTS splitter
at both ends of the local loop; i.e., at the central office (CO) and at the customer
premises (CP).
The POTS splitter filters out the DSL signal and allows the POTS frequencies to
pass through. Each central office POTS splitter card contains 12 filters to serve
12 local loops with DSL-based service and POTS. The POTS splitter card is a
passive device and requires no power. The POTS splitter chassis is shipped
separately from the POTS splitter card(s). Two chassis are available:
Single-card chassis which can be placed on a tabletop or installed in a rack.
Six-card chassis which must be installed in a commercial EIA-standard
19 or 23 rack or cabinet.
Consider the following before installing the POTS splitter:
Installation Site
The location should be well-ventilated, clean, and free of environmental
extremes. Allow clearance at the front of the POTS splitter chassis to provide
access to the cables.
Cabling
Three Telco 50-conductor cables are used to connect to the three interfaces
on the POTS splitter card. The location of the system hardware affects the
length of the three cables.
For each POTS splitter card, obtain three Telco 50-conductor cables with
50-position amphenol-type connectors at the appropriate length based on cabling
requirements in your environment. A Y-cable is available for the DSL connection.
