  • Frame injected DSL via face fed protector module
    Patent number: 8855293
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a surge protection module that includes an overvoltage protection component and a ground pin configured on a bottom end of the surge protection module. The ground pin is in electrical communication with the overvoltage protection component. The surge protection module also includes a pair of outside plant tip and ring pins configured on the bottom end of the surge protection module. The pair of outside plant tip and ring pins in electrical communication with the overvoltage protection component. The surge protection module is configured to receive a wire wrap pair consisting of a central office tip wire and a central office pin wire. The central office tip wire and the central office pin wire are configured to be in electrical communication with the overvoltage protection component.

  • Modified protector module with an integrated splitter
    Patent number: 8488747
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a surge protection module that includes an integrated signal splitter configured to combine a signal from a DSL tip wire with a signal from the POTS tip pin to generate a DSL/POTS tip output signal, and combine a signal from a DSL ring wire with a signal from the POTS ring pin to generate a DSL/POTS ring output signal. The integrated signal splitter is configured to be in electrical communication with an overvoltage protection component and to output the DSL/POTS tip output signal and the DSL/POTS ring output signal to the overvoltage protection component.
