Splitters are the main device used when running a homerun (dedicated wiring for the DSL signal) because they also physically isolate the DSL and POTS wiring. Depending on your needs and existing wiring there are several choices as to what splitter is required. Other equipment may include extra wiring, wall plate(s), splice connectors, etc. Usually, common household tools are usually sufficient to complete a homerun. The needed tools and equipment (except for the splitter) are available at local hardware stores.

Four main types of splitters are available:
External Splitters - Encased in separate, weather-proof enclosures for stand alone installation.
Internal NID Splitters - Designed to fit completely inside a residential NID (Network Interface Device).
Home Security Alarm Splitters - Designed to work with RJ-31X alarm system connections. More information is available here.
INI Splitters - Designed for apartments/condominiums that use an INI instead of a NID. More information is available here.

Ebay is a great source for new splitters at very good prices. Also, several retailers sell to the general public. Please check the following links:
