 | Ring Voltage? I thought the tap passes 95-105V 20hz AC ring voltage for telephone? Don't they use a blocker or a telephone box that passes no voltage to the modems and TV/set top boxes?
I know when I had Comcrap everything they had the phone interface on the house and the drop had split-loom tubing covering it with a tag warning of high voltage. I know previously when I was living on my own I had a cheep tuner card connect to the cable. The cable was still live. The day they changed to the new taps for internet and telephone it killed the card. Sense I was not paying for it I had no recourse. I checked with my DVM and had 105V AC on the cable! |
