ABSTRACT:
A method and five pin integrated protector and splitter module are provided for use at a protector panel of a facility for housing telephone-related equipment, where the module is capable of being used in conjunction with at least a broadband MODEM separate from a digital loop carrier. The module includes a first pair of module pins for receiving a signal including voice and data, and a protection circuit coupled with the first pair of module pins. The protection circuit includes a ground contact for coupling with a ground potential at the protector panel, for protecting telephone-related equipment from at least one of an overvoltage and overcurrent condition present at the first pair of module pins. The module further includes a splitter circuit coupled with the protection circuit, for splitting the voice from the received signal as a voice signal, and a second pair of module pins coupled with the splitter circuit, for providing the voice signal from the five pin module to the digital loop carrier. The splitter circuit of the five pin integrated protector and splitter module may further include a data terminal set for providing at least the data of the received signal to the broadband MODEM.
