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 are run from the central office (CO) to the customer premises (CP) to
create the local loop. The local loop terminates on the customer premises.
