Overview

The idea of ALS-P10 filters is that they can be directly plugged to the existing terminals of the CO one by one, as needed, thus eliminating need for extra terminal blocks and cabling. This leads to lower costs compared to ordinary splitters, which require operators to install large splitter racks and equipment awaiting presumable future use. With Siemens/ Krone terminals no extra cabling or terminal blocks are needed at all; with Krone LSA Plus terminals only minor new cabling are needed.

The plug type filters are easy to install to the terminal blocks; no tools are needed. Filters act like disconnection plugs: the contacts inside the terminal are disconnected and the filter connects in series to the pair. Individual filters can be plugged adjacent to each other and they don´t block neighboring pairs from insertion of new wires. Thus ADSL can be connected to subscribers independently, which is an asset. The plug type splitter requires the space of two pairs of LSA Plus terminal block.
