The splitter functions on both integrated service digital networks (ISDN) and plain old telephone systems (POTS). It meets or exceeds the customer premise equipment (CPE) splitter specification ETSI 101 952-1-4, the most rigorous and demanding splitter specification in Europe. Offering either an RJ45 or RJ11 DSL port connection, the CP-790TJ is clearly marked with three separate jacks -- for the incoming phone line, the post-split phone line and DSL line. The ETSI-compliant splitter provides filtering for all telephone sets, fax machines, answering machines and other devices throughout the home, enabling them to operate on the same line being used for high-speed Internet connectivity. The function of the CP-790TJ is to separate the high-frequency ADSL signal from the lower-frequency ISDN or POTS signal. The splitter protects phone devices from data signals to enhance voice-band quality. It also isolates ADSL from phone equipment impedance for peak Internet performance. The Excelsus CP-790TJ is a universal ISDN and POTS splitter that does not require a switch or jumpers to be configured by the installer for analog or digital telephone service. Designed for easy wall mount self-installation, the cost-effective CP-790TJ is CE marked and can be customized to meet specific marking requirements. Excelsus DSL filters and splitters incorporate unique, industry-leading Z-BLOCKER® technology that demonstrates high-performance voice and data characteristics with regard to insertion loss, return loss and stop-band isolation. In addition, the technology allows utilization of advanced manufacturing techniques that ensure low cost and high performance.
