Talk:DSL filter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

why is this forwarded from DSL splitter? Aren't a DSL splitter and a DSL filter different?

A DSL splitter is just a regular phone splitter with a filter on one of the outputs. I think they are the same, in so much as they should be on the same page, because they are basically the same topic. However, it could be said that some more explanation of the diff between a filter and splitter should be added to the topic. Jrouvier 08:38, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, a DSL splitter contains 2 filters: a low-pass filter on the POTS output and a high-pass filter on the DSL output. JanCeuleers 17:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it should be lined out, that each analog phone, fax, ... needs to behind a filter. So you may need more than one filter.

In most cases you need to supply a filter for each outlet (except the one where you plug in the DSL).

In rare cases you will be able to intercept the analog singal where it enteres the house or flat, split it up into a filtered and an unfiltered signal. The filtered signal is fed back into your existing cabeling, the unfiltered signal is connected to the DSL.
