An apparatus and method for mounting an xDSL signal splitter that is readily interconnected with existing indoor premises telephone wiring to provide separate access to voice and data signals by the subscriber. The apparatus comprises three pairs of terminations for connection of combined signal wiring, first signal wiring and second signal wiring. A first splitter circuit is mounted in the housing and electrically connected between the first pair of terminations and the second pair of terminations. A first signal jack extends through the exposed surface of the housing and is connected to receive only the first signal. In an alternative embodiment, the third pair of terminations is electrically connected to a branch point between the first pair of terminations and the first splitter circuit. In another alternative embodiment, a second splitter circuit is mounted in the housing and electrically connected between the branch point and the third pair of terminations. A second signal jack extends through the exposed surface of the housing and is connected to receive only the second signal.

Indoor XDSL splitter assembly

The present invention provides a splitter module with an xDSL splitter circuit that is removably installable in a network interface device (NID) and interconnectable with a POTS module in the NID to split the POTS and xDSL signal onto separate inside wire pairs terminated in the NID. The splitter module has a jack and a plug. The plug from the POTS module is inserted in the jack on the splitter module and the plug on the splitter module is then inserted into the jack on the POTS module. This exchange of plugs and jacks place a splitter circuit between the outside plant wiring and the pairs of inside wiring.

xDSL splitter interconnect module for network interface device

Disclosed is a network interface device for connecting network wiring to a subscriber's wiring at a subscriber's premises, the network interface device having a door covering a test jack, with means for connecting the network wiring to the subscriber wiring when the door is closed and connecting the network wiring to the test jack when the door is open.
