[DSL] Compare DSL Splitters ?

What is a GOOD brand of (indoor) DSL/POTS splitter ?

If I search google with:
compare dsl pots splitter

I get price comparisons but no comments on performance / quality.

Filters are almost useless for me.

P.S. Wilcom splitters look like re-branded Corning splitters.

It sounds like you want a single DSL filter with Phone / DSL jacks on it.

Otherwise you're looking for just a standard POTS splitter.

I doubt you'll find reviews on either, to be perfectly honest.

I've always used the SUTTLE Line Conditioners PN: 340-R001-031 that were included with my DSL Modem.

I'm sure you can find them cheaper.

They also make the 340-R002-020 Wall Mount Line Conditioner, they are a bit harder to find.

Splitters should use large inductors and capacitors not easily damaged by line surges.
Keptel, Siecor, Corning for outdoor, and many house labels for indoor. Anything smaller than a 4"x3" box is probably junk.
Spec should state insertion loss, band reject loss, max voltage surge.

Splitter vs inline filter
Here is old BBR picture comparing the internal components of splitter (lower circuit card) and typical inline filter (upper circuit card.)

I used Corning/Siecor, now TII, whole house splitter. Have not done a comparison with other units. It is a three stage passive filter whereas in-line are typically single stage. Has fused secondary surge protection. The one I have has Half-Ringer test circuit after the filter allowing the one in the NID to be removed. ADSL is designed to operating with half-ringer but is line is marginal removing it is one less unfiltered load.
