New-Outdoor POTS Splitter - SE-649A1 Reviews

New-Outdoor POTS Splitter - SE-649A1 Review by Denny

I purchased this POTS Splitter to put in our house as it was being built and to avoid having a DSL filter at every phone.

I had the line coming into the house run to an easily accessible location in the attic where I installed the splitter. One line goes in and two comes out. One was daisy chained through the house for the phone land line and the other went to our coat closet where I installed my DSL router and a patch panel. I then hard wired the entire house with Cat5 to the patch panel.

The Splitter was very easy to install and has worked perfectly. No noise in the lines, seals shut well, and has a nice thick rubber grommet to pass the cables through. Best thing of all, I don't have a DSL filter at each phone!

New-Outdoor POTS Splitter - SE-649A1 Review by Nelson P. Filho (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

This is an exceptional product but, as another reviewer put it, don't expect miracles: both you and the telecom company will (hopefully) need to help, also.
The advantage of this splitter over the usual internal ADSL filter supplied by a telecom is that with this one you will be able to separate the data and voice signals as soon as they arrive at your home, minimizing any interference between them (this interference occurs mainly immediately before dialing, not while talking or dowloading).
It also helps a LOT if you re-wire your house's phone connection, preferably with an Ethernet cable (cat5), which has a much lower impedance (much less loss of signal).
You have no say on the quality of the signal the telecom gives to you (it is usually not very good; wiring for POTS is frequenty old, corroded and mended), but if you want a better connection, do yourself a favour: measure your SNR (Signal-to-Noise-Ratio, also know as Signal over Noise or Noise Margin - all routers offer to show it); then install the POTS Splitter at the point the phone line entres your house; measure the SNR again (it must have increased), if your problems were fixed, it's all; if not you will need to change the wires. You will be able to get a better connection, more stable, and a "cleaner" voice phone also.
