 Click here to order this splitter. The Indoor DSL Splitter sold at HomePhoneWiring.com is the Wilcom model PS-15-01-I3S. Its small size (2.0" W x 3.0" D x 0.9" H) makes it ideal for mounting next to a wiring block or inside a residential "media center" like those being installed in many new homes. Holes at the top and bottom make it easy to mount in almost any indoor location with two screws. There are two different methods of making connections to this splitter. The screw terminals on one side the case for "LINE", "MODEM", and "PHONE" would be used for a hardwired installation. The screw terminals are connected in parallel with three RJ-11 jacks, which permits connection using standard modular cords. The pictures at the right show the jacks and screw terminals in detail. This is the ideal splitter for all the DSL installation options discussed on this site except those requiring exterior installations or an interior installation in a high-visibility area, where it is desired for the splitter to replace a wall mount jack, or where it is desired to provide access to a second voice line via a jack on the splitter. The Wilcom product description document for the PS-15 is available at: www.wilcominc.com/product_pdfs/PS15-I3S.pdf. The labeling on this device reads "ADSL POTS FILTER", but don't get confused. All splitters are filters, but all filters are not splitters. The PS-15 is definitely a "whole-house" "master" splitter, as confirmed in the Wilcom product description document.

The ADSL2+ / VDSL2 Splitter sold at HomePhoneWiring.com is the Wilcom model PS-36. Physically, the case and connections for this splitter are very similar to the Wilcom PS-15 Indoor DSL Splitter discussed above. The small size (2.0" W x 3.0" D x 0.9" H) and mounting holes make it easy to mount in almost any indoor location. However, the filtering capabilities of the ADSL2+ / VDSL2 Splitter are significantly enhanced to provide isolation for the entire 20kHz-30MHz frequency range for ADSL2+ or VDSL2 used for Video over DSL applications such as IPTV (Internet Protocol Television). ADSL2+ / VDSL2 DSL Splitter includes two RJ-11 jacks, for the LINE and PHONE connections and an 8P2C jack (often referred to as RJ-45) for the MODEM connection. Either a 6P2C/RJ-11 or 8P2C/RJ-45 plug can be used in the modem jack. This allows either standard RJ-11 phone cords or CAT5E or better four-pair patch cords to be used for the splitter to modem connection. There are also parallel screw terminals which can be used instead of the modular jacks. The PS-36 also includes robust ring-trip protection to eliminate video pixelization due to loss of packets that can occur when answering phone calls in the middle of a ring signal. For a technical explanation of "ring-trip" conditions, refer to www.wilcominc.com/documents/WILCOM_FAQ_Ring_Trip-web.doc. The Wilcom product description document for the PS-36 is available at: www.wilcominc.com/product_pdfs/PS36.pdf.

 Click here to order a splitter mounted in a TII 160GS enclosure. The TII 160GS Utility Housing is combined with a NID splitter module to create two splitters sold at HomePhoneWiring.com. The only difference between the Small Outdoor DSL Splitter and the Outdoor ADSL2+ / VDSL2 Splitter is the splitter module installed in the enclosure. The Small Outdoor DSL Splitter includes the Wilcom model PS-11-I2 splitter and the Outdoor ADSL2+ / VDSL2 Splitter includes Wilcom model PS-32 splitter. The Wilcom PS-11 and PS-32 are designed to be mounted in the telco side of the NID by service providers. Consumers aren't supposed to even enter the telco side of the NID and definitely shouldn't make any change or mount anything there. Doing so can be grounds for the telco to suspend or permanently disconnect your service. So for a consumer to use a PS-11 or PS-32 splitter, it needs to be mounted in a separate enclosure and connected just like any other outdoor splitter. I've mounted the splitters in a TII 160GS Utility Housing so that they can be installed by a consumer in an authorized manner. The 160GS is considerably smaller (3.3" W x 4.3" D x 2.1" H) than most outdoor splitters. The 160GS housing has five re-enforced mounting points, any two of which are sufficient to mount on a wall at almost any outdoor location with two screws. To install, the existing inside wiring voice cables are moved from the NID to the Small Outdoor DSL Splitter housing and the pairs to the voice jacks are terminated on the "PHONE" screw terminals of the splitter. The cable pair to extend DSL data to the DSL modem location is terminated on the "ATU-R" (DSL modem) screw terminals. A short new cable is used to extend the incoming service from the customer access bridge module in the NID to the "LINE" screw terminals on the splitter. These are ideal splitters for all the DSL installation options discussed on this site that require exterior installation. They are also a good choice for installation where the splitter will be inside but in an area where it is desirable to have the splitter and wire connections enclosed for aesthetics or protection from damage. The Wilcom product description document for the PS-11 and PS-32 are available at: www.wilcominc.com/product_pdfs/PS11.pdf and www.wilcominc.com/product_pdfs/PS-32.pdf, but keep in mind that these documents are targeted at service provider installation inside the NID, which is not authorized by a consumer. The TII 160GS Utility Housing is the same enclosure used for the 349-1MG Protector (see Small Outdoor DSL Splitter with Additional Surge Protection, below). The 160GS ground stud is used to mount the splitter. (There is no need to connect a ground to the 160GS, since no protector is installed.) The TII product description document for the 160GS Utility Housing is available at: http://www.tiinettech.com/datasheets/Accessories/160-Series_IDS.pdf.

The Small Outdoor DSL Splitter with Additional Surge Protection and the
ADSL2+ / VDSL2 with Additional Surge Protection are created by mounting Wilcom
PS-11 and PS-32 splitter modules in a lightning surge protection device.
The Wilcom PS-11 and PS-32 splitters are described above at
Small Outdoor DSL Splitter. To meet the desires of people that need additional lighting protection for their DSL connected equipemnt, I've mounted the splitters in a TII 349-1MG Protector Device, which is a weather resistant 160GS exterior enclosure that contains a 356M1 Protector Module. This is an industry standard heavy duty surge protection device, similar to those used by phone companies. The 356M1 has a three-electrode gas tube surge arrester, a failshort mechanism, and a backup airgap. For less than the cost of many outdoor splitters, you can install a splitter/protector combination and enjoy the peace of mind of having additional surge protection. | |

To install: Ground Cable: A ground wire must be connected from the ground stud at the center of the enclosure to a verified ground such as a ground rod or a metallic water service entry pipe. The ground wire should be as short as practical (recommend less than 25 feet). If there is not an available ground point within a reasonable distance, you will need to drive a ground rod, in accordance with your local code. You will have to provide the ground wire (12 AWG or larger, 10 AWG recommended) and the clamp to connect the wire to the ground point. Solid 10 or 12 AWG wire is easier to work with on the ground stud and at the ground point clamp. If you use stranded ground wire, recommend use of a crimp lug to bond the ground wire to the stud in the 349-1MG enclosure. Use of a ground wire large than 6 AWG is not practical Signal Cable: The existing inside wiring voice cables are moved from the NID to the Small Outdoor DSL Splitter housing and the pairs to the voice jacks are terminated on the "PHONE" screw terminals of the splitter. The cable pair to extend DSL data to the DSL modem location is terminated on the "ATU-R" (DSL modem) screw terminals. A short new cable is used to extend the incoming service from the customer access bridge module in the NID to the studs of the 356M1 protector. Place the wires between the washers under the top stud nut, "ring" wire on left and "tip" wire on right. Wires will already be in place between the washers under the bottom stud nut to connect the protector studs to the "LINE" screw terminals of the splitter. | |

The Wall-Mount/Desktop DSL Splitter sold at HomePhoneWiring.com is the
Corning/Siecor model SPS-IW0-SR1.
This is a very versatile device.
It can be wall-mounted on a single-gang electrical box, wall-mounted as a
stand-alone unit, or used as a desktop unit.
There are two different methods of making connection to this splitter.
There are screw terminals inside the case for "LINE", "VOICE", and "DATA", so
that the device can be used in a hardwired installation.
There is a wire entry hole to bring cable in from the back and molded
"break-outs" for bringing cable in the side of the cover.
The screw terminals connect to jacks in the cover, which permits connection
using standard modular cords. The connections to the voice jacks on the cover can be changed by altering the internal configuration. The default configuration would be for the voice side of the splitter to be connected to the "Voice 1" jack in the center of the cover and a "second line" would be connected as "Voice 2" on the voice jack at the base of the cover. The wires can easily be moved to connect the voice side of the splitter to the "Voice 2" jack and the second line tothe "Voice 1" jack. As an alternative, short wire straps can be added between the two sets of voice screw terminals to have the voice side of the splitter appear on both jacks. Also note that you can even use a mixture of hardwired and jack connections. For example, you could hardwire the connections for "LINE" and "VOICE" and use the "DATA" jack to connect to your DSL modem and also use the "VOICE 1" and "VOICE 2" jacks to provide phone jacks at the splitter location. The mounting screws have "posts" which will allow a standard wall mount phone to hang on the splitter instead of a wall mount jack and connect to the voice side of the splitter via the center RJ-11 jack. If the first appearance of your line inside the house is at a kitchen wall phone, you may find this splitter will suit your needs better than the Indoor Splitter offered above. Like I said - it's a very versatile device! The installation document for the SPS-IW0-SR1 is not available online, however the document for a similar device in the product series is available as a PDF file on the Corning/Siecor web site. The SPS-IW0-SR1 is the same as the model SPS-IW1-SR1, except the SPS-IW0-SR1 includes the additional voice jack on the center front of the cover. You can view the document for the SPS-IW1-SR1 at the link below. The drawings in the SPS-IW1-SR1 document show how the screw terminals are arranged and the blank space in the center where the additional jack is located in the SPS-IW0-SR1. The screw terminals for that front jack are the pair on the right that aren't labeled in the SPS-IW1-SR1 document. The product series spec sheet is at the other link below. Note that the spec sheet covers various physical configurations and versions of the product series. Corning/Siecor Installation Document for The SPS-IW1-SR1 Splitter. (Don't forget that the splitter sold here is the SPS-IW0-SR1, which includes the additional jack in the center of the cover.)
