Re: [DSL] Compare DSL Splitters ?


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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
