POTS Splitters
A POTS splitter (also called a splitter) is installed on a telephone line that is connected to
both data (high-frequency) and voice (low-frequency) devices. The splitter routes the
high-frequency and low-frequency signals on the telephone line to the correct device.
Signals intended for the router can disrupt voice calls; signals intended for voice calls can
affect router operation.
Most splitters must be installed by the telephone company; however, some splitters can be
installed by the customer. If you are not sure what type of splitter to use, contact your
service provider.
Figure 2-1 is an example of a type of POTS splitter that is installed at the customer premises
by the customer. Other types of POTS splitters are installed by the telephone company on
an exterior wall of the customer premises.
