ATIS 0600026.2010[pre-pub]

This Standard is for Network Equipment Facility Splitters. These splitters are used by service providers to protect voice-grade services when high-speed digital services (e.g. ADSL less than ADSL2plus, VDSL, and VDSL2) are deployed on the same copper pair. The Network End POTS Splitter is used on the network side of the local loop. This document describes the electrical characteristics of the network end POTS splitter that function to sufficiently reduce the DSL signal impact on the line card, and permit legacy plain ordinary telephone service (POTS) communication. These requirements support several types of DSL signal transmission. Also included in this standard are descriptions of text methods to ascertain compliance and minimize ambiguity of the intent of these requirements.
