Re: Corning POTS Splitter To ST546V6 Modemsaid by Gone:said by kovy7:Makes no sense... if the modem jack was filtred, internet wouldn't work. Voice is filtered from the DSL jack on a POTS splitter, not the DSL signal. Likewise, the DSL signal is filtered from the phone port, but not voice. Both ports are filtered, just different ways - this is why they call it a POTS splitter. If you hook up a telephone to the DSL port it will not work for voice in any way, shape or form. I'd love to try that one, see if a phone works in the modem jack. But this would make sense. |

It's not just a splitter... it's obviously a filter. Splitter don't come filtered in most case. Hence why people used them for fax and phones. |

I think everyone here knows what a two-way splitter does, but we're talking about POTS splitters - they split the POTS line into separate and dedicated DSL and voice (and fax and whatever else that runs over the voice network) lines that can't be used for anything else but that. |

Plain old telephone service ... it doesn't say much. A splitter simply splits the wire in two direction... Obviously this splitter is for DSL and phone service to work without any issues. |

said by kovy7:Plain old telephone service POTS... it doesn't say much. Now that you know what a POTS splitter does and that it isn't merely the same thing as putting a microfilter between a line from the demarc and your DSL modem, why do you need to care what POTS means? Would you prefer it be called a PSTN/DSL isolator or something instead? |

Would you prefer it be called a PSTN/DSL isolator or something instead? No I don't care... but to say it's a pure splitter would be wrong, IMO. But thanks for letting me know both are filtered for their dedicated purposes. I never really had the chance to play with one, since I have a dry loop. |
